Exodus 12:1-14
Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
John 13: 1-17, 31b-35
The name "Maundy Thursday" comes from the "mandate" Jesus gives his disciples the night before his death, "Love one another as I have loved you." This love will be a defining mark of the community who follows Jesus. We also hear Paul recount what was handed on to him, dating back to that very night of Jesus' betrayal. Jesus institutes the meal with which he gives of his very body and blood in the bread and the wine for the forgiveness of sins. This institution takes place in the midst of the meal established by God for Israel to remember their freedom from bondage in Israel.
