1 Corinthians 5 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened.

Urchatz: Hand Washing Ritual hand washing before handling food No prayer or blessing is spoken The point in the celebration when Jesus washed the disciples feet Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

Urchatz: Hand Washing So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another s feet.

Urchatz: Hand Washing 15 For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

Maror: Bitter herbs Blessed are You, YEHOVAH, our God, King of the universe, who has commanded us to eat bitter herbs. The biter vegetable should be eaten together with a piece of matzah. Symbolizes the bitterness of slavery and the bitterness of our sin. Likely the time in the meal that Jesus identified Judas as his betrayor

John 13 21 When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me. 22 The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. 23 There was reclining on Jesus bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking. 25 He, leaning back thus on Jesus bosom, said to Him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus then answered, That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him. So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. John 13:21 30

John 13 27 After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. 30 So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

Charoset Remind them of the mortar they used in Egypt Apples, nuts, cinnamon, honey, & grape juice The eaten together with a piece of matzah. Some eat alone some with the morar Removes the bitter taste left by the maror God removed His people from the bitterness of slavery in Egypt.

Matthew 26:27 29

23 the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me. 25 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord s death until He comes. 1 Corinthians 11:23 26
