John 13:2-5
New International Version
Washing Disciples Feet
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Matthew 26:26-30
New International Version
The Last Supper
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Let Us Pray
Holy Thursday Prayer
Spirit of the Living God;
On this sacred night, we remember the holy meal Your Son shared with His disciples.
In the quiet of the upper room, bread was broken and the cup was blessed.
Love was poured out before blood was shed.
Service was shown before sacrifice was completed.
Lord Jesus,
On the night You were betrayed,
You gave us Yourself.
In simple bread and humble wine,
You offered the mystery of Your Body and Blood.
Teach us to receive this gift with awe,
gratitude, and faithful hearts.
As You knelt to wash the feet of Your friends,
wash us clean of pride and selfishness.
Give us the grace to serve one another with tenderness and humility.
May we love not only in word,
but in action and truth.
In this solemn hour,
when shadows lengthen and the cross draws near,
help us stay awake with You.
Keep us faithful when faith is tested.
Keep us near when fear tempts us to run.
May this Holy Thursday renew our devotion,
deepen our communion,
and strengthen our resolve to follow You—
from the table,
to the garden,
to the cross,
and into the glory of resurrection.
We ask this in Your holy name. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
And we let it be…And so it is…
Amen, Amen, and Amen.
