The Last Supper: the guest-chamber
1. The Last Supper: the guest-chamber
Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
The Last Supper is taken in the prepared
"guestchamber" - an
"upper room". The same Greek word is translated as "
Inn" in the Christmas story. The
TR (Textus Receptus) omits the word
"my" in
"my" "
guestchamber".
The New Testament or
Covenant is given by which the
Eucharist of the bread and wine is taken in remembrance.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the town of Ruth and Boaz. Bethlehem's main industry was raising passover lambs for the temple in Jerusalem. Jesus would become our passover lamb
2. Matthew 26:17-29 Betrayal of the Last Supper tradition
 |
 |
Matthew 26:17-29.
Mark 14:12-26.
Luke 22:7-38.
John 13-17.

Here we look primarily at the Last Supper in
Matthew. Discuss:
How should one think about discrepancies between the four accounts?
In what ways can Jesus be betrayed today? Is Jesus betrayed today? Explain.
How might one get a message through to future readers when the courier may not be trustworthy?

3. Mark 14:14
KJV: And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Greek: και οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω
Latin: et quocumque introierit dicite domino domus quia magister dicit ubi est refectio mea ubi pascha cum discipulis meis manducem
4. Goodman of the house
Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
Luke 22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και ερειτε τω οικοδεσποτη της οικιας λεγει σοι ο διδασκαλος που εστιν το καταλυμα οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
The
"goodman of the house" is often translated as
"householder". Who is the
"householder"? Luke uses
"goodman of the house" of the "
house".
Let us continue with the story in Luke.
5. Matthew 16:11-12 Leaven: the yeast of these
Matthew 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. [kjv]
τοτε συνηκαν οτι ουκ ειπεν προσεχειν απο της ζυμης των αρτων αλλα απο της διδαχης των φαρισαιων και σαδδουκαιων [gnt]
"ζύμη" ≈ "yeast, dough".
"ζημία" ≈ "loss, damage, penalty".
Leaven is used in bread to make it rise. In the Gospels, Jesus uses the term as a code word to refer to the religious leaders of the time being "
puffed up" or to refer to a distortion of religious principles as in
false doctrine or teaching.
Unleavened bread was used in the Exodus from Egypt as there was not time to let the bread rise.
6. Luke 22:7 Hebrew matza bread
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. [kjv]
ηλθεν δε η ημερα των αζυμων η εδει θυεσθαι το πασχα [gnt]
Matza is an unleavened flat-bread that is popular in Israel and part of the observance of Passover and appears in Exodus (some verses above). The Hebrew word
"םצה" (matza) ≈ "matza".
The "
day of unleavened bread" is the day when there was not time to "
leaven" the bread, time to allow it to rise.
7. Passover lamb
The "
Passover lamb" was to be slaughtered. at Passover. This story and tradition goes back to the Exodus from Egypt led by Moses under the direction and power of God.
8. Bethlehem
Baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a small town six miles south-east of Jerusalem whose primary economy was raising lambs for the yearly Passover. Today, the primary economy of some farms is to grow fir trees for Christmas.
This is the same little town where Ruth, as a type of the "
Church" and the grandmother of David, met Boaz, the "
Kinsman Redeemer" as a type of "
Jesus". Naoma appears to be a type of the "
Holy Spirit".
9. Luke 22:8-10 Preparations
Luke 22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν πετρον και ιωαννην ειπων πορευθεντες ετοιμασατε ημιν το πασχα ινα φαγωμεν [gnt]
22:9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? [kjv]
οι δε ειπαν αυτω που θελεις ετοιμασωμεν [gnt]
22:10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. [kjv]
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις ιδου εισελθοντων υμων εις την πολιν συναντησει υμιν ανθρωπος κεραμιον υδατος βασταζων ακολουθησατε αυτω εις την οικιαν εις ην εισπορευεται [gnt]
The guestchamber for the Last Supper has been pre-arranged and ready to go. This did not just happen.
10. Luke 22:8
KJV: And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
Greek: και απεστειλεν πετρον και ιωαννην ειπων πορευθεντες ετοιμασατε ημιν το πασχα ινα φαγωμεν
11. Luke 22:9
KJV: And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Greek: οι δε ειπον ειπαν αυτω που θελεις ετοιμασωμεν
12. Luke 22:10
KJV: And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
Greek: ο δε ειπεν αυτοις ιδου εισελθοντων υμων εις την πολιν συναντησει υμιν ανθρωπος κεραμιον υδατος βασταζων ακολουθησατε αυτω εις την οικιαν ου εις ην εισπορευεται
13. Reservation
At the birth of Jesus there was no place in the world at the guest room for Jesus. At the Last Supper in the guest room, Jesus says he is making a place for us that is not of this world.
Luke 22:11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και ερειτε τω οικοδεσποτη της οικιας λεγει σοι ο διδασκαλος που εστιν το καταλυμα οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
22:12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. [kjv]
κακεινος υμιν δειξει αναγαιον μεγα εστρωμενον εκει ετοιμασατε [gnt]
22:13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. [kjv]
απελθοντες δε ευρον καθως ειρηκει αυτοις και ητοιμασαν το πασχα [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἀνώγεον" ≈ "upper room" and is, literally,
"above ground". What is the relationship between the
"guestchamber" and the
"upper room"?
It is time! Jesus says to get ready for a pre-arranged meeting at the guest room. Is the place he is preparing pre-arranged too?
14. Upper room guestchamber
Luke 22:11 … Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και ερειτε τω οικοδεσποτη της οικιας λεγει σοι ο διδασκαλος που εστιν το καταλυμα οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
Mark 14:14 … Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. [kjv]
και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτης τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοις τοπος εν τω καταλυματι [gnt]
The
"upper room" or
"guestchamber", translated as
"inn" in Luke 2:7, is part of the "
house".
15. Catalyst as a noun
Jesus and the Last Supper: This was already "
prepared".
Mark 14:14 … The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
και οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]
Mary and Joseph: Luke did not use the Greek word for
"inn".
Luke 2:7 … there was no room for them in the inn. [kjv]
και ετεκεν τον υιον αυτης τον πρωτοτοκον και εσπαργανωσεν αυτον και ανεκλινεν αυτον εν φατνη διοτι ουκ ην αυτοις τοπος εν τω καταλυματι [gnt]
Jesus and the Father's house: Place to
"remain", Latin used
"mansions".
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: … I go to prepare a place for you. [kjv]
εν τη οικια του πατρος μου μοναι πολλαι εισιν ει δε μη ειπον αν υμιν οτι πορευομαι ετοιμασαι τοπον υμιν [gnt]
16. Jesus and the law and Zaccheaus
Jesus and Zaccheaus: (verb). A few verses later is the Palm Sunday entrance of Jesus.
Luke 19:7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. [kjv]
και ιδοντες παντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι [gnt]
Jesus and the law and the prophets: (verb). This is near the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [kjv]
μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον καταλυσαι τον νομον η τους προφητας ουκ ηλθον καταλυσαι αλλα πληρωσαι [gnt]
The English is
"fulfill" or
"fill full". The Greek for
"complete" can involve adding or taking away - as in a sculpture where parts of the material are chipped away.
17. Strongs - upper room
