4. The mandate of Maundy Thursday
Friday crucifixion
Maundy Thursday is 3 days before Easter and is the traditional day of the Last Supper. The name comes from the Latin word "mandare" ≈ "commit to one's charge, order, command" which is the source of the English word "mandate" and comes from two Latin words.

It is sometimes called "Love feast" and sometimes celebrated twice a year.

Whenever thinking of Maundy Thursday, one should think of the "mandate" that Jesus gave at the Last Supper.
5. The Last Supper: the guest-chamber
Verse routeMark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? [kjv]
Verse routeκαι οπου εαν εισελθη ειπατε τω οικοδεσποτη οτι ο διδασκαλος λεγει που εστιν το καταλυμα μου οπου το πασχα μετα των μαθητων μου φαγω [gnt]

Icon: Last supperHere is an icon (image) of the Greek Orthodox Church that I have in my office, to remind me of Jesus at the Last Supper.

The Last Supper is taken in the prepared "guestchamber" - an "upper room". The same Greek word is translated as "Inn" in the Christmas story.
The New Testament or Covenant is given by which the Eucharist of the bread and wine is taken in remembrance.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the town of Ruth and Boaz. Bethlehem's main industry was raising passover lambs for the temple in Jerusalem. Jesus would become our passover lamb

6. Remez: Communion
Take and eat: bread and cupAt the Last Supper, Jesus introduces the sacrament of the bread and the wine called the Eucharist.

This sacrament appears in "remez" or "hint" from in Genesis in terms of the dream interpretation of Joseph of the dreams of the baker and the wine steward.

In three days, the break will be broken and the wine will be poured.

7. Mandate
The Latin word "mandare" ≈ "commit to one's charge, order, command" which is the source of the English word "mandate" and comes from two Latin words.
8. Bars
According to the Bible and Jesus, one needs to satisfy both. One is not enough.
9. Transitive relationship
Verse routeJohn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love :one another. [kjv]
Verse routeεντολην καινην διδωμι υμιν ινα αγαπατε αλληλους καθως ηγαπησα υμας ινα και υμεις αγαπατε αλληλους [gnt]
Verse routemandatum novum … [v]
Verse route… newe maundement… [wy]

Transitive J you others and loveJesus gives a "new commandment". It is, rather, a new twist on two old commandments from the OT (Old Testament).
The "one another" is for those who are "similar" and not "different".

Jesus did not come to "change everything" nor to replace the law but to fulfill the law. The new twist is to follow the example of Jesus in loving your neighbor as yourself.
10. John 13:34
   John 13:34 
 All 
KJV: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love :one another.
Greek: εντολην καινην διδωμι υμιν ινα αγαπατε αλληλους καθως ηγαπησα υμας ινα και υμεις αγαπατε αλληλους
Latin: mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos ut et vos diligatis invicem
Wycliffe: Y yyue to you a newe maundement, that ye loue togidir, as Y louede you, `and that ye loue togidir.
Tyndale: A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another
11. Greek
The modern Greek word "εντολή" (ehn-to-LEE) ≈ "order, command, mandate"

The ancient Greek word "ἐντολή" ≈ "order, command, mandate" and is from the ancient Greek word "ἐντέλλω" ≈ "order, command" which is from "in" and "completion".

The ancient Greek word "τέλειος" ≈ "complete, end, purpose".

14. Wycliffe and Tyndale
Wycliffe uses the Middle English word "maundement" ≈ "commandment" and from which can be seen the English origin of the word "Maundy" from the Latin word "mandatum" ≈ "commandment".

Verse routeΙωάννην 13:34 εντολην καινην διδωμι υμιν ινα αγαπατε αλληλους καθως ηγαπησα υμας ινα και υμεις αγαπατε αλληλους [gnt]
Verse routemandatum novum … [v]
Verse route… newe maundement… [wy]

Tyndale uses the Middle English word "commaundment" ≈ "commandment" which still has some of the "Maundy" spelling.
Verse routeA newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another [ty]

15. Foot washing analogy
Verse routeJohn 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. [kjv]
Verse routeει ουν εγω ενιψα υμων τους ποδας ο κυριος και ο διδασκαλος και υμεις οφειλετε αλληλων νιπτειν τους ποδας [gnt]

Analogy
An analogy takes the form A is to B as C is to D.
There is a direct connection from A and B and from C to D. Appropriate indirect connection must be made from A to C and from B to D.

From this context, the Maundy in Maundy Thursday is often taken as "foot washing" which is a specific instance of the more general principle that Jesus is trying to convey (in the verse above and below).
16. Structure comparison
Jesus shallow structure - rock Human deep structure - sand
Shallow 0 Org tree2
Vine 0 Tree with twigs - no fruit
The deep tree structure of the Temple started with Moses on the advice of Jethro. By the time of Jesus it was a huge tree of compulsive rules and regulations.

17. John 13:14
   John 13:14 
 All 
KJV: If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Greek: ει ουν εγω ενιψα υμων τους ποδας ο κυριος και ο διδασκαλος και υμεις οφειλετε αλληλων νιπτειν τους ποδας
Latin: si ergo ego lavi vestros pedes Dominus et magister et vos debetis alter alterius lavare pedes
Wycliffe: Therfor if Y, lord and maistir, haue waischun youre feet, and ye schulen waische oon anothers feet;
Luther: So nun ich, euer Herr und Meister, euch die Füße gewaschen habe, so sollt ihr auch euch untereinander die Füße waschen.
18. John 13:15 Example
Verse routeJohn 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. [kjv]
Verse routeυποδειγμα γαρ εδωκα υμιν ινα καθως εγω εποιησα υμιν και υμεις ποιητε [gnt]

Analogy
An example is a "pattern" as in an "analogy". Jesus has provided an "example" that we are to follow, by analogy, not in a completely literal sense.
Jesus even says it is an "example" but it is not uncommon in teaching to have students use the example as the one and only way to do something without seeing the more general pattern.

Discussion question: What are some examples of people not seeing the general pattern but focusing on a specific instance?
19. John 13:15
   John 13:15 
 All 
KJV: For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Greek: υποδειγμα γαρ εδωκα υμιν ινα καθως εγω εποιησα υμιν και υμεις ποιητε
Latin: exemplum enim dedi vobis ut quemadmodum ego feci vobis ita et vos faciatis
Wessex: ic eow sealde bisne þaet ge don swa ic eow dyde.
Wycliffe: for Y haue youun`ensaumple to you, `that as I haue do to you, so do ye.

A few verses later is the commandment to love one another (above).

Discussion question: Why might John have included this story that does not appear in the other Gospels?

23. Matthew 28:19-20 The Great Mandate
Verse routeMatthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [kjv]
Verse route28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. [kjv]

Matthew ends with "The Great Commission" and uses the Latin word "mandani" ≈ "commanded" as in "mandate". The Greek translated as "nations" is that of "people". As you go through life, you should "teach" others what Jesus wants you to teach them.

Star Trek: .. to go where no man has gone before .... Jesus does not want you to do what is said in Star Trek. Jesus wants you ... to go where men have gone before - and give them the Good News ....
