Assessment Of Religious Knowledge (ARK) High School Practice Test

The Last Supper is the event where Jesus instituted the Eucharist. It happened during a Passover meal with his disciples, when Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body given for you,” then took the cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, poured out for you.” He told them to continue this meal in remembrance of him, establishing the practice that would become the Eucharist (Holy Communion) for Christians. That’s why this event is the right one: it is the moment in the Gospels where the ritual of sharing bread and wine as symbols of Jesus’ body and blood was first instituted. The other options refer to different things: Ascension is Jesus’ return to heaven, Genesis is the creation narrative, and Conscience is a general concept, not a biblical event.
