Umunsi umwe mbere ya Pasika, Yesu yifuza gusangira ifunguro rya nyuma n’intumwa ze cumi n’ebyiri. Yamenye ko igihe cye cyari cyegereje, kandi ko yari agiye guhura n’ubugambayi, ibigeragezo hamwe n’urupfu. Yesu asangira ifunguro rye rya nyuma mu cyumba cyiherereye cyo hejuru. Mu gihe barimo barya, Yesu yafashe umugati, amaze gushimira, arawumanyura maze aravuga ati, “uyu ni umubiri wanjye, wabatangiwe. Mwakire kandi muryeho mwese.” Muri ubwo buryo nyine, Yesu afata igikombe cya divayi aravuga ati, “iki gikombe gisutswe ku bwanyu, ni isezerano ryanditse mu maraso yanjye. Mujye mukora ibi munyibuka”. Maze nyuma aravuga ati, “Igihe cyose muzarya uyu mugati mukanywa no kuri iki gikombe, muzaba mwibuka urupfu rwanjye kugera igihe nzagarukira”. Abakristo bose ku isi yose bakomeje gusabana na Yesu binyuze mu kwizihiza ifunguro ry’Umwami wacu buri gihe.
On the day before the Passover, Jesus desired to share one final meal with His twelve followers. He knew that His hour had come and that He would soon face betrayal, trial, and death. Jesus shared this last supper in a private upper room. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and after He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is my body, given to you. Take and eat.” In the same way Jesus took the cup of wine and said, “This cup, poured out for you, is the new covenant written in my blood. Do this in remembrance of me”. Finally He said, “As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are remembering my death until I return”. Christians from around the world continue to commune with Jesus Christ though the regular celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
