Script Summary:

This story shows the final meal Jesus shared with His disciples before He was arrested. Judas secretly planned to hand Jesus over for money. The disciples found a furnished room where Jesus washed their feet, showing humble love. He then offered bread and a cup, calling them His body and blood. Jesus warned that one disciple would betray Him—Judas left, and later brought soldiers to capture Jesus. Although the disciples ran away in fear, Jesus willingly surrendered, teaching them to love and serve each other even in difficult times.
