What occurred at the Last Supper according to the material?

• A. Jesus celebrated Passover with the apostles and instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood.
• B. Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount.
• C. Jesus washed the apostles' feet.
• D. Jesus ascended to heaven.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the Last Supper is the moment Jesus reinterprets the Passover meal around his coming sacrifice and establishes the sacraments that would define his followers’ worship. During this meal, he takes the bread and the cup, declares them his body and blood, and commands, “Do this in remembrance of me.” This act inaugurates the Eucharist, a central worship practice for Christ’s Church. He also entrusts the disciples with a continuing role in this sacramental life, which is understood as the beginning of the ministerial priesthood that would carry forward the celebration of the Eucharist.

So the material emphasizes that what occurred was a Passover observance turned into the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood. The Sermon on the Mount is a different teaching from earlier in his ministry, and the washing of feet, while it occurs at the meal to show humility, is not the defining act described as the Last Supper here. The Ascension happens after the Resurrection, not at the Last Supper.
