Part 2- Biblical Allusions: The Last Supper

The Last Supper   Biblical Allusion  Source: Mark 14; John 13

  • Teaches us about commitment
  • Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead with instructions on where to prepare the Passover meal
  • That evening Jesus sat down at the table with 12 apostles to eat his final meal
  • One would soon betray him
Commentary: This allusion is mainly about commitment and being there for one another. A perfect example of this takes place in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. In Les Miserables, Marius and his friends are preparing to fight in the second French Revolution. They have put the time and commitment in and even though they may not be the most skilled army, they have the most heart.
