The night I'm about to tell you about was the most important dinner in the history of the world. And it started with me on my knees.

It was Thursday evening. Passover. My disciples and I gathered in a borrowed upper room in Jerusalem. The city was buzzing with festival noise, but in that room, it was just us — thirteen men around a low table, oil lamps flickering, the smell of roasted lamb and unleavened bread filling the air.
