Publisher's Summary:

This is the story of the Last Supper told through the mind of the apostle John.

Excerpt:

John sat on the floor at a low stone table while the other apostles spoke. Candles danced light around them.

"Did you hear what Jesus spoke in the streets?" Bartholomew asked in low tones to Thomas across the table. "He said, 'The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.' What do these words mean? He speaks in riddles. If he is to be glorified will he now take his place as ruler over the land of Jerusalem? What role would we play then?"

Thomas took a hand and placed it on the table, turning to his fellow apostle. "I do not think he means to rule, but I am afraid I also do not understand. He spoke of death, and yet he then told the masses, 'Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the father will honor.' I do not think he would speak of serving and following if he or we were to die now. But then he has said before, 'The son of man is going to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.'"

"I would die for him if he asked," Simon Peter spoke from nearby John.

It had been like this for days, ever since their arrival to Jerusalem during the festival while Jesus rode the donkey over branches of palm. Jesus spoke words they did not fully understand, words that brought fear to the apostles. John looked around the table at his 11 brothers. Their faces were apprehensive, some masking it with jovial talk and others asking questions about what was to come.

All seemed to feel this coming meal with Jesus was important and pivotal in some unknown way. Tension held between them at all times.

Great read.

This is wonderfully written. It is so descriptive, you feel like you were there. A well researched account of this important part of the Bible. We both loved it.

Skillfully and modestly described

I read The Last Supper: John with a tear in my eye. After such a beautiful dedication not only to our Father in Heaven for His sonâs sacrifice but also for the knowledge that we are His children and co-heirs in the Kingdom. What a celebration it will be on that day when we sit next to our brothers and sisters and those we loved in life.

Iâve always enjoyed Toneyâs books. He breathes life into his characters and all of a sudden we see the disciples as they once were. Simple men living in a time and place most of us cannot imagine. To communicate a sense of that era accurately takes real talent. Sometimes I sit and wonder what they all looked like, what they ate. After reading this, I can see John as enthusiastic and emotional. I see Peter as a passionate man, tumbling over his bravado without really knowing how hard it would be. And Judas? Did he have an inkling of the tragedy he would bring on himself?

Toney conveys a frightening time for the disciples. Whatever they saw, whatever they felt, they knew Jesus was not of this earth - to be in His presence is not like being in the presence of any other man. We understand the pain of parting, of losing a friend. But what we canât understand is how âtheyâ must have felt.
