Mary never attended the Last Supper, but was included in the film to create interest and investigation as to whether she was in fact there. The Last Supper was to be attended by those Apostles who were to hold the Holy Priesthod. No woman alive or dead has ever held the Holy Priesthood.

Why do you think the person painted Mary Magdalene in the picture with Jesus at the last supper and why is there on 13 people including Jesus Is Mary Magdalene suppose to be one of the 12 disciples?
No that is not Mary magadelene, it is John. As John was the youngest of the twelve disciples.
Why did the Last Supper not appear in the Gospel of John?
The Last Supper does appear in the Gospel of John, beginning at Chapter 12, verse 1. Jesus spends this time with his disciples, instructing them at the supper in chapters 12-14, and He further instructs them on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane, chapters 15&16.AnswerThe Last Supper was the Passover feast and appears in the Synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, because Passover occurred on the Thursday before the crucifixion. In John's Gospel, the Passover was on the Friday of the crucifixion, so there is no Last Supper recorded, instead Jesus washed the feet of the disciples.
What is the difference between the synoptic accounts of the Last Supper and that of John's Gospel?
A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), the Last Supper takes place on the evening of the day of the Passover - it is the Jewish Seder feast. John's Gospel moves the chronology (eg John 19:14) so that in his crucifixion, Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of the Passover, and therefore this gospel omits the ritual Last Supper. Apart from mentioning that Jesus and the disciples had their evening meal, John replaces the Last Supper by a ritual in which Jesus washes the feet of the disciples.

What gospel does not contain a communion or last supper narrative?
A:In the three synoptic gospels, the Last Supper is the feast of the Jewish Paassover (eg Mark 14:16) and each describes the events at that meal, after which Jesus went to pray, was arrested and then crucified on the following day. For theological reasons, John's Gospel has the crucifixion take place on the day before the Passover feast, and so only mentions Jesus and the disciples at an ordinary evening meal. Instead of the Last Supper narrative, John contains a narrative about Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.

Did Mary Magdalene recognize Jesus in the Gospels of Mark and Luke?
In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene saw no one when she first went alone to the sepulchre. When she returned later, she saw the risen Jesus but did not recognise him, thinking that he was the gardener (John 20:14-15).In Matthew's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was returning from the sepulchre with the other Mary, when they met Jesus. They both recognised him immediately and worshipped him (Matthew 28:9).In the original version of Mark's Gospel, ending at verse 16:8, the women did not see the risen Jesus. In the 'Long Ending', at 16:9, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and she went and told the others.In Luke's Gospel, Mary Magdalene did not meet the risen Jesus.

Who was with Mary at the grave of Jesus?
In Matthew's Gospel, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb of Jesus. An angel met them outside and said that Jesus was risen. In Mark's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome went to the tomb of Jesus. The stone was already moved and a young man met them inside the tomb and said that Jesus was risen. In Luke's Gospel, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and other women went to the tomb. Two men in shining garments met them inside. In John's Gospel, Mary Magdalene was alone when she went to the tomb early in the morning. Seeing the stone moved aside, she returned immediately without meeting anyone or looking inside. After the disciples came to look and had left, Mary Magdalene was again outside the tomb when she met Jesus, whom she mistook for the gardener.
If the Last Supper is a picture of the 12 disciples and Jesus Christ but it has been pointed out that one disciple seems to be Mary Magdalene which disciple would have been left out?
The rumor is false and no disciple was left out. Studies have shown that the individual whom people claim to be Mary Magdalene is, in fact, the apostle John. I agree that it is probably not Mary Magdalene in the painting, however theoretically since it is John who is claimed to actually be Mary Magdalene that would logically mean that John is not in the painting. However, there is a consensus opinion among experts that John is appears to be very feminine in the painting because Leonardo DaVinci had a tendency to paint very feminine looking young males because of his personal preference for them. No there actually was a disciple left out. His name was Judas, and that was the disciple who betrayed Jesus. I think he was at part of the last supper though. Try looking it up in a non-king James version.
What book of the Bible tells of the Last supper?
The Last Supper was held on the occasion of the Jewish Passover feast, which in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) was the evening before the crucifixion of Jesus. The synoptic gospels all contain the story of the Last Supper. John's Gospel prefers the crucifixion to be on the day of preparation for the Passover feast, so John omits the Last Supper account, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
How many gospels is Mary magdalene mention?
AnswerYes. There are three partial manuscripts of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. The oldest extant manuscript is from the third century. Estimates of the date of authorship vary from early to late second century, so it is possibly as old as the Gospel of John.
