If you have a Jewish Haggadah (for the Seder of the Passover) you will find it very interesting to compare the Last Supper with the Passover. Especially compare the giving of the Afikomen with the Breaking if the Bread at the Eucharist, and the 3rd Cup of Blessing with the Cup of the Eucharist (the Cup *after supper*, Luke 22:20). Even if the Last Supper was not an actual Passover, but a Qiddush in anticipation of the Passover (but Luke says it was a Passover), it is instructive to see what Jesus was actually doing at the meal, and how he changed the significance of those two features of the Passover rite.
