They were at the last supper, but the last supper was really the Passover. They were celebrating the Passover. The Passover is where we'll find out what communion is all about. We know Jesus said "This is my body, and this is my blood," but they were having the Passover. He took the wine of the Passover and said, "This is my blood." Whose blood was it before that? If it was His blood now, whose blood was it then? It was symbolizing the blood of the very first Passover.

The bread also was there, and Jesus said, "This is my body." His body symbolizes the body of the lamb of the first Passover.

We have the wine and the bread. Jesus took those two elements, the blood of the lamb and the body of the lamb that they were celebrating at that Passover, and said, "From now on you guys, this isn't the blood of the lamb anymore. This is my blood." Obviously, it wasn't the actual blood of the lamb, it represented the blood of that first Passover lamb. "And this bread, which represents that the flesh of that first lamb, this bread now represents my body."
