Maundy Thursday
The Last Supper was the final meal for Jesus and his apostles twelve
Indicated in the First Epistle to the Corinthian precisely where we'll delve
Paul was the first to spread relation and it's told this way,
they joined together on Maundy Thursday on that holy day
It wasn't long after Jesus made his triumphant entry
into Jerusalem that marked the epic apex of the century
John states that two disciples were sent from Bethany to the village beside
to bring back for the Lord, their Master a donkey, one that he would ride
Jesus asked of them to find an ass tied up and never ridden
The animal being the symbol of peace in this message hidden
The crowd awaiting their Lords arrival lay down their very cloak
and branches small and plenty to corroborate invoke
Multitudes of believers proclaimed word of the holy one,
a splendid feast prepared for all welcoming Gods son
Faith in his holy manner boosted with the telling of his revelation
The miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead spread through the congregation
All that were in hope of divine help from Jesus shouted "Hosanna" out in praise
As he declared his cleanse of Herod's Temple would be finished in three days
His only use of physical force as he whipped the thieves out of their den
claiming back and restoring the house of his Father to make it pure again
Absolution completed, Jesus invited his twelve guests to dine
upon a feast of plenty including bread and wine
Seated in the center sided by his six, the Prince of peace would sit
pronouncing denial and deception and predicting which two of twelve commit
Mathews affirmation of the verse spoken that very day
of woe to the man to whom the son of God he would betray
Judas turned to the Rabbi and asked "It isn't me?"
and Jesus answered "You said It" and yes it will be
Proven and justified later by his own commands
Judas was the traitor with the bag in his hands
Peter was predicted to deny Christ not only once but three
Peter swore he would never disown his Lord, that he'd die for thee
All the apostles complied with Peter and voiced so as they rose
but later heard the truth of culprit preceding rooster crows
In repent of his sin, Peter would later weep,
as Jesus turned to confirm the face of the black sheep
Peter stayed the night, despite the Saviours prophecy
Jesus requisitioned Judas out to see who he must see
Judas left and reportedly went to meet with the Jewish authority
to get paid for marking Christ by saluting a kiss of the ordinary
Jesus was arrested and hauled off to the high priest tower
where he was denounced, damned and sentenced by unholy power
Jesus was to be crucified, hung on a cross for all to think about
Faithful followers still believing their redeemer was devout
All that were at the blessed meal knew deep inside that Jesus did not holey part
for he blessed wine and broke bread offered as his body and soul and will remain alive within their heart
Eleven of the twelve apostles spread his last words to sister and to brother,
his last commandment given them to love each and one another.
