Which event did Jesus institute at the Last Supper?

• A. The Lord's Supper (Holy Communion)
• B. Baptism
• C. The Anointing of the Sick
• D. The Eucharistic Prayer

Answer: (A)

The event being tested is the moment Jesus established a continuing practice for his followers: the Lord's Supper, also known as Holy Communion or the Eucharist. At the Last Supper he took bread and wine, gave them to his disciples, and said that the bread was his body and the cup his blood, directing them to “do this in remembrance of me.” This sets up a ritual meal that Christians have repeated to remember Jesus’ sacrifice, with bread symbolizing his body and the wine his blood.

Baptism is a separate command Jesus gave about beginning discipleship and entry into the faith, not something he instituted at the Last Supper. The Anointing of the Sick is a different practice focused on healing and comfort, not the memorial meal. The Eucharistic Prayer is a liturgical formula used to consecrate the elements in many traditions, but the event Jesus instituted at the Last Supper is the Lord’s Supper itself. Therefore, the best answer is the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion).
