The order of the last supper is in 13 steps [some books show more steps, others fewer steps, so this is a general guideline] 1. The head of the company, Jesus in this case, opens with a prayer and 2. Gives the 1st cup of wine for everyone in the company to drink. 3. The head of the company washes his hands. This is where, it is believed, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet. 4. The head of the company dips some of the bitter herbs into the salt water or vinegar and speaks a blessing, eats some of the herbs and hands them to the others. 5. The unleavened bread is broken into pieces, reserving half to be eaten after the supper, called the after dish. 6. The 2nd cup is filled and the youngest in the company (John) is instructed to ask questions about the significance of the Passover. 7. Psalms 113 and 114 are sung. 8. The 3rd cup of wine is filled, followed by prayer, and they all drink the cup. 9. Everyone washes his hands. 10. Supper begins by eating the unleavened bread and bitter herbs and the lamb. Everyone in the group must eat at least an olive size portion of the lamb. All of the lamb is to be consumed or destroyed. No bones of the lamb are to be broken. 11. The after dish of the bread broken earlier is eaten. It is believed this is where Jesus said, “Take eat, this is my body.” 12. The 4th cup of wine is the point when Jesus told them to all drink of it, this was his blood. 13. Conclude with hymns and prayers. Psalms 115-118 and the Great Hallel – Psalm 136.
