IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME
ICEBREAKER
To begin this week, I might introduce the setting of these chapters with the following quick activity. I put the following slide on my screen and tell my students that there is a picture behind the puzzle pieces. The challenge is to be the first person to guess what it’s a picture of as I slowly remove the pieces from in front of it. You may even offer the winner a little treat for guessing first. And what is the picture? It’s perhaps the most famous painting of all time. Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”. And that’s going to be the subject of this and also next week’s course of study. On the night before Jesus would be tried, scourged, and crucified, he gathered his twelve apostles around him one last time to celebrate the Passover meal, teach them some final important lessons, and introduce a new ordinance that would represent a major shift in the worship of God.

To help my students gain a better grasp of some of the main ideas and events surrounding the last supper, I might have them participate in the following relay activity. This is an activity particularly effective with the youth. Divide your class up into teams of three or four and tape as many copies of the following sheet up at the front of the room matching the number of teams you have competing. And what you’ll do is cut the sheet at the dotted lines so that students can tear off each strip from left to right as they go through the race. Each strip has a question on it. When you say go, a member of each team will run up to their paper and tear off the first strip (because it’s only attached by that small line at the top) and bring it back to their group. Their job is to write an answer to that question on the strip, using the scriptures, and then bring it up to you as the teacher. You’ll check their answer to assure that it’s correct. If it’s not, you send them back to their team to try again. If their answer is correct, then that team can move on to the next strip, and so on until they have completed each one. The team that accomplishes that first, wins. Now it’s likely that there may be more than one team that needs an answer corrected at the same time. So what you have them do is form a line in the order of when they got to you and wait their turn for their strip to be corrected. It’s kind of a fun way to introduce and understand the story better. Then you can go in and study specific aspects of the scripture block a little more deeply.
So here are the questions and I’ll tell you the answers as go we through each one. Be sure to tell your class that all the answers can be found in Matthew 26, Mark 14, or John 13. Another note, the questions for this week only cover events that occur at the Last Supper. There are other events covered in Matthew 26 and Mark 14, such as Gethsemane and the arrest—but those are events that we’ll focus on in more depth in the coming weeks. That’s just one of the challenges of teaching the life of Christ as a harmony. The content of the chapters don’t always match up perfectly.
QUESTION #1: Before the Last Supper, Judas Iscariot agreed to deliver Jesus to the chief priests in secret for how much money? (Matthew 26:14-16)

Ponder and Apply
Now to help them explore and understand the events of the Last Supper on a bit more of a personal level, I might have them do the following “PONDER AND APPLY” activity after the relay race. Give them some time to ponder and answer the questions. Then, go through each of the questions and invite students to share their answers with an explanation of why they chose that particular answer. To encourage participation, before class, write down the names of each of your class members on small pieces of paper, popsicle sticks, or note cards and place them in a container of some sort. As you go through the questions, select one of the names and invite that student to share. However, after that initial student shares, open the question up to volunteers or anyone that would like to share their thoughts.
Here are the questions. And this time, they have no right or wrong answers.

NOTE
After those introductory activities, you as a teacher may want to go into a little more depth on some aspect of the Last Supper. Following are two specific lesson plans that you could choose from if you like. One focuses on the apostles question of “Lord, is it I”. And the other on Jesus’s washing of the apostles feet. You might be surprised to notice that I don’t have a specific in-depth lesson plan on the sacrament this week, besides the questions from the activity we just did. There’s a reason for that. You certainly could do a lesson on that aspect of the Last Supper here, I mean this is when the ordinance is introduced, so it’s very significant. However, Jesus doesn’t spend a lot of time explaining the sacrament here in the Gospels, or perhaps those teachings have been lost in our Biblical accounts. But besides him introducing the symbolic elements of the ordinance and explaining that this was to be done as a memorial of his sacrifice, he doesn’t spend time teaching much more about it. Now Paul is going to go into great depth on the significance of the sacrament later this year in 1 Corinthians—the Doctrine and Covenants has a lot to say about it, King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon teaches us about it and Christ is going to share more about this sacred ordinance with the Nephites during his visit to the Americas, but there’s not a lot here. So since I usually like to stick pretty closely to the text of the scriptures in my lessons, instead of using them as a springboard to go to other places, I’ve chosen not to do a more in-depth treatment of the sacrament this week. I hope that’s ok. But just know that we will speaking about it soon in 1 Corinthians.
LORD, IS IT I?
ICEBREAKER
But one thing I do like to spend time on is the part of the story where Christ announces that one of the apostles would betray him. So for an introduction and icebreaker for our first in-depth lesson, I like to begin with a little story. It’s about a woman who went to Church to listen to her pastor teach that Sunday. She walked in and sat on the very front row. As the pastor taught, he was pleased to see this woman frequently nod her head in agreement, and smile, and absolutely beam all throughout his discourse. The pastor could tell that his message was really connecting with her and having a profound effect. Therefore he was quite excited to see her approach the pulpit after his sermon was over. She enthusiastically shook his hand and declared, “Pastor, that was a wonderful sermon today! Absolutely wonderful. Everything you said applies to someone I know.”
TRANSITION
Now what do you think about this woman’s statement here? Is there anything wrong with it? What might have been a better reaction to the teachings of the gospel that she heard that day? Maybe she could have said, “Pastor, that was a wonderful sermon today. Everything you said applies to ME in some way and I know it’s going to help ME to be a better follower of Christ.” Well we’re going to take a look at a story now where Jesus’s apostles demonstrate the proper way to react to the word of God. And although they weren’t perfect, and we have plenty of examples of their weaknesses in the Gospels, there is also much to admire in them. They stand as incredible examples of discipleship. This is a short story but has deep implications for our worship.
SEARCH
I invite you to read that story in Matthew 26:20-22 with the following one question in mind:
How are the apostles a good example to us here?
And here’s the story:
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
And how are they good examples to us? They didn’t point fingers. They didn’t look around with suspicion or say or think things like, “Oh, I bet it’s Matthew over there, he was a publican before becoming an apostle. I bet you it’s him.” Or, “It’s probably Simon Zelotes that’s the traitor. He’s a zealot. You can never trust those guys.” Or, “Judas Iscariot has got to be the one. I’ve always had my suspicions about him, and he’s been acting kind of funny, lately.” No, that’s not what they do. They looked inward and asked, “Lord, is it I?” Could I be the one that would be guilty of such disloyalty? Could I possibly be swayed if the price was right? Is there going to be a situation I’m placed in soon where I might be tempted to turn my back on my Master? And what I love about this is that I don’t believe that’s a typical human reaction. These men were special, unique, uncommonly humble—no wonder Jesus chose them. I mean, how do you think most of us would react if the Bishop walked into our classroom and said, “We’ve learned through revelation that one of you students in here is going to end up in federal prison one day if they don’t change their ways.” What would we be tempted to do in that kind of situation? What would be our thoughts? Oh, I bet it’s Kevin over there, he’s always looked a bit suspicious to me. Or, Sam has got to be the one. Or would we be willing to look inward and take the warning to heart and ponder how that could apply to us.
When we hear the word of God, when we listen to a talk in Church or General Conference, when we read the scriptures, what’s our attitude? Are we seeing them through the lens of judgment? Are we only thinking of ways in which we might use them to correct others? Are we thinking about how they apply to our spouse, our children, our family members, or people in our wards, workplaces, and community? Do we spend most of our time pondering how everyone “out there” needs the counsel?
The apostles demonstrate a better approach. Looking inward first. And this is just a little bit of a different message than just, “Don’t be judgmental of others”. We’ve heard some of Jesus’s teachings already on that topic with the story of the woman taken in adultery and his counsel to “behold the mote that is in [our] own eye first.” No, this is a message about how we approach hearing the word of God. Through what lens do we see it, or through what filter do we seek to hear it. We can always seek to listen with the “Lord, is it I” filter. We take what is being taught to heart. We look for ways in which it applies to us. We do more than just sit and admire the eloquence of the speaker, or the appeal of the illustrations used. We can ask the Lord, “Please help me to know how I can take what is being taught today and strengthen my faith or my resolve to follow thee.” I know that in the gospel we are usually encouraged to think about others, and to avoid the “Me, and I, and Mine” mindset. But this is one area that stands as an exception to the rule. One area where we should be self-centered.
An Object Lesson
At this point in the lesson I might consider doing the following object lesson. I pull out a mirror, and a piece of glass or a small window of some sort. And ask: Which one of these objects do you feel the Lord would prefer us to symbolically bring when we hear his words taught? Why?
Then you could share the following quote from Elder Uchtdorf who once gave an entire talk in General Conference entitled, “Lord, is it I.” He said:
“May I suggest that the holy scriptures and the talks given at general conference are an effective mirror we can hold up for self-examination.
As you hear or read the words of the ancient and modern prophets, refrain from thinking about how the words apply to someone else and ask the simple question: ‘Lord, is it I?’ ”
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Lord, Is It I?,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 58)
So see, we want to approach God’s words with a mirror—with a self-reflective attitude—looking inward. And not with a window, looking out and focusing on others.
In that same talk, President Uchtdorf gave some memorable illustrations of this principle and shared the following story:
“Some years ago there was a news story about a man who believed that if he rubbed lemon juice on his face, it would make him invisible to cameras.
So he put lemon juice all over his face, went out and robbed two banks.
Not much later, he was arrested when his image was broadcast over the evening news. When police showed the man the videos of himself from security cameras, he couldn't believe his eyes. "But I had lemon juice on my face!" he protested.
When a scientist at Cornell University heard about this story, he was intrigued that a man could be so painfully unaware of his own incompetence.
To determine whether this was a general problem, two researchers invited college students to participate in a series of tests on various life skills and then asked them to rate how they did. The students who performed poorly were the least accurate at evaluating their own performance--some of them estimating their scores to be five times higher than they actually were. This study has been replicated in numerous ways, confirming over and over again the same conclusion: many of us have a difficult time seeing ourselves as we truly are, and even successful people overestimate their own contribution and underestimate the contributions that others make.
It might not be so significant to overestimate how well we drive a car or how far we can drive a golf ball. But when we start believing that our contributions at home, at work, and at church are greater than they actually are, we blind ourselves to blessings and opportunities to improve ourselves in significant and profound ways.”
(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Lord, Is It I?,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2014, 58)
Perhaps this helps us to understand why the Lord seems to emphasize humility so much.
I also love Paul’s thought from 2 Corinthians 13:5
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
TRUTH
When I hear the word of God, if I seek to examine how it applies to me, rather than assuming it is meant for others, then I will become a better disciple. I will grow. I will change.
LIKEN THE SCRIPTURES
What are some situations in your life where you could ask, “Lord, is it I?”
Could it be, “Lord, it is I who lacks patience?” Is it I who feels complacent? Is it I who is inconsiderate of others? Envious? Slothful? Takes things and people for granted? Always looks for the negative? Is it I who would betray you?
CONCLUSION
In conclusion here. If you want the lesson to be a bit more memorable, you might consider providing each student with their own personal reminder of this principle. You could give each of them their very own small mirror to place into their scriptures as a bookmark of sorts, or they could stick it to the cover of their scriptures, or in a place where they’ll see it frequently. You can purchase a package of 120 of these little mirrors on Amazon for less than 10$. I’ll provide you a link to those in the video description if you’re interested (https://amzn.to/3Om7DAE) . But you can tell your students that this small gift can act as a reminder of the importance of self-reflection when it comes to the word of God. A reminder to use the gospel as a mirror and not a window. A symbol that can hopefully prompt them to ask “Lord, is it I,” and not “Lord, it must be them.” And with that I say, go ahead, be self-centered! As far as applying the word of God is concerned.
WASHING FEET
ICEBREAKER
And for our final thought this week, the washing of the apostles feet. As an icebreaker you could do this little quiz with your students. I call it the “Who is Greater Quiz”. The object is to determine which of the two given positions of authority are greater or higher in authority.
CEO or Manager
Sergeant or Chief
In the Catholic Church . . .Cardinal or Archbishop.
In academics . . . Head or the Dean
And in the military . . . Lieutenant or Private.
Captain or Colonel
And then finally . . . General or Major-General. . . And this one kind of throws them off because you'd think it was Major General but actually a General is higher than a Major General. Don't ask me why.
TRANSITION
Now this introduction is a bit similar to what we talked about back with our lesson on becoming like a little child, but apparently the apostles are still continuing to struggle with this idea of which of them should be considered the greatest or the most important amongst themselves. We learn from Luke 22:24 . . .
24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
And you know, is our world any different? We too live in a culture that is obsessed with the idea of rank, position, and status. We are constantly rating, ranking, and classifying things and people. Top 10 lists, awards shows, championships, hierarchies, and pecking orders are all-around us. It's actually considered a noble ambition to want to be in charge or an authority over others. It’s a law of the jungle, look out for number one, dog eat dog world where it's often the mighty, the ruthless, and the ambitious that triumph over humility and tenderness. Well the apostles here are also falling into this all too human tendency to rank and categorize. So Jesus, knowing that he would not be with them much longer, took this opportunity to teach them, and all of us, about TRUE greatness. And he’s going to teach them this principle with an object lesson. A visual demonstration of celestial greatness. Let’s watch THE master teacher at work. So what does Jesus do to teach his disciples in John 13:4-5?
SEARCH
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
What does he do? He washes their feet. In Jesus’s day the washing of feet was the work of a servant or a slave And, as I'm sure you can imagine, with all that walking on dusty roads wearing sandals in the hot middle eastern sun, this probably would not have been the most pleasant of jobs. Jesus amplifies this imagery by laying aside his garments and putting a towel around his waist. By doing this he was taking on the appearance of a servant also. That’s how a servant or a slave might typically appear in Christ's day. And then he begins to pour the water and one by one washes each of the Apostles feet, including Judas. And I imagine this would have been bewildering to the Apostles. This man that they considered to be not just their master but the Messiah, the very Son of God—the Savior is doing this menial, degrading task for them. To highlight that point you could ask if there is any indication in verses 4 through 10 that this was a shocking thing to the Apostles for Jesus to do. And they’ll find Peter’s reaction in verses 6-8. And by the way, I love Peter. He’s obviously the most outspoken one of the group. He seems to almost always be the one who speaks up first or jumps to action. He's the one that steps out of the boat to walk to the Savior—the one who vigorously insists that he would never deny Christ—the one cutting off the ear of the soldier at the arrest in the garden. He just comes across as passionate and eager and maybe just a bit impetuous. And I love that about him. And when Jesus gets to him, Peter asks in, what I’m sure would have been an incredulous tone, “Lord dost thou wash my feet?” As if to say, “You’ve got to be kidding me. This isn’t right. This should be the other way around. You are far greater than I am.” And then he very emphatically refuses and says, “Thou shalt never wash my feet. To which Jesus responds, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. And I wish could have been there to actually see the expression on Peter’s face. But I picture that resolute, determined look just melting away into a distressed concern and worry. And he completely reverses his resolve as he pushes out his hands and says, “Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head too.” It’s like he's saying, “If that's what it requires then I want all in and more.” And in my mind's eye I can see the Savior smiling at Peter and with those reassuring loving eyes of his saying, “He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit.” It’s okay Peter. Just your feet are enough.
And here I might ask if these verses contain any lessons for them? Does Peter’s attitude hold any insight for them? Or the Savior’s response?
A few of my own thoughts here. I love Peter’s attitude. Peter has a “go the extra mile” attitude, doesn’t he. Sometimes we might suffer from the, “I'm good enough” syndrome. The “What’s the minimum requirement?” “How far can I go before I cross the line?” approach to discipleship. Peter, though, wants to do more. He wants to be more. And I'd love that about him. I want to be like Peter. I want to be a “Wash not only my feet, by my hands and my head too” kind of disciple.
Also, I think Jesus’s response to Peter has significance. “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.” We need to let Jesus clean us. Sometimes we might think that we can do it on our own. That we can earn our own salvation. Or that we're not worthy to be cleaned by the Savior. Nothing could be further from the truth. All throughout our lives, as we “dirty our feet” and “take the wrong paths” and “step in the mud and filth of the world”, we must be humble and willing enough to stretch out our feet to Christ and allow Him to wash us through the cleansing power of his atonement and sacrifice.
Well, after Jesus is done. He wants to make sure that the apostles and all of us get the message. In fact, he even asks in verse 12, “Know ye what I have done to you?” Do you understand this guy's? And he’s going give them and all of us the answer very directly and clearly. But I would ask my students to ponder the lesson first and see if they can figure out what they feel the message was before they go to the Savior’s explanation. Then, have them read John 13:12-17 to see if they got it right. And then ask someone to summarize Jesus’s teachings on the subject. What do they feel is the lesson Jesus wanted all of us to learn from this story?
“Ye ought also to wash one another’s feet.” I want you to follow my example. This is the way I want you to treat each other. Yes, I am your Master and Lord. But consider what I have just done for you. The servant is not greater than his Lord neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. You might also want to go back to Luke 22 where Jesus says it this way in verses 25 through 27.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
In other words, in the world greatness is often measured by how many people serve you—how many people you have authority over, how many people you have working for you, or under you or that you're higher than or are more talented than or make more money then. But in God's kingdom true greatness is not measured by how many people serve you, but by how many people you serve. The deepest humility is not seen when a person of an obviously lesser station acknowledges someone of greater nobility. Deep humility is evidenced when a being of higher station condescends with love to serve those of a lower. Jesus shows us the perfect example of condescension, humility, and service. His kingdom works differently from the world’s.
And is that true in the Church? In your wards, what positions are usually considered the ones with the most authority or “greatness” in air quotes. And they might say, the Bishop, or the Relief Society president, or the Elder’s quorum president. But then, “Who usually gives the most time and effort serving others in their ward? Which callings are the busiest? And again. they'll probably say, the bishop, the Relief Society president, the Elder’s quorum president. They're the ones serving the most. And how about the Church in general? Who is considered to be the “greatest” or have the most authority in the church as a whole? The Prophet, the Apostles, the general authorities, and general organization presidencies. But what do imagine most people their age are doing at this point in their life? Golfing, going on vacation, fishing, relaxing, spending time with the grandkids, and living a retirement lifestyle. But what are they doing instead? Having meetings, making decisions, traveling, speaking, dedicating temples, teaching, and preparing talks. I mean, just look at President Nelson. He's 98 years’ old. And what’s he doing? I can tell you it’s not playing bingo at the retirement home. I mean, I could ask you what you think most men are doing at his age, but I don’t think that’s a good question, because most men never even get to be his age. At 98 he's still serving. They’re all serving. They are perfect examples of Doctrine and Covenants 123:13 . . .
Therefore that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness.”
Those in authority in the church are certainly wasting and wearing out their lives bringing light to others or “washing feet.”
And finally, here in these verses, Jesus is going to make us all a promise if we do this. If we seek to fill our lives with service to our fellow man. What is Jesus’s promise to those who are willing to wash other’s feet? Verse 17 . . .If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. It will make us happy. If “men are that they might have joy,” then Jesus has just revealed one of the greatest secrets to finding joy.
Video
There is an excellent little video produced by the Church entitled “Unselfish Service” that you might consider showing at this point. Invite them to listen for ways in which we can serve as the Savior did.
TRUTH
True greatness=service and service=happiness.
The solution to contention, tyranny, and unrighteous dominion is humble service.
LIKEN THE SCRIPTURES
Have you ever felt the happiness that comes from service? Please share what happened and how it made you feel.
Who is someone you know that you feel has shown that they really understand this principle of “washing feet”?
What could you do this week to follow Jesus’s example in this way?
CONCLUSION
Now the next time we’re tempted to let our egos take the reins. The next time we find ourselves arguing about who is the greatest. The next time we begin to allow our own self-interests to steamroll those of our fellow man, may we remember that image of the Savior, the greatest of all, kneeling down and washing the feet of his apostles.
Now you might wonder why I’m not moving on to talk about the “love one another” principle that appears near the end of chapter. And that’s because thematically I think that thought ties in nicely with next week’s block of scripture as we continue to study the Savior’s teachings during the Last Supper. Love is going to be a major focus of John chapters 14-17. So stay tuned.
