When evening came
The phrase "when evening came" marks a significant transition in the narrative, indicating the beginning of the Jewish day, which starts at sunset. In the Jewish context, the day is divided into evening and morning, as seen in Genesis 1. This timing is crucial as it sets the stage for the Passover meal, a pivotal event in the Jewish calendar. The evening signifies a time of reflection and preparation, aligning with the solemnity of the events that are about to unfold. Historically, the Passover meal is celebrated in the evening, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt, which foreshadows the deliverance Jesus is about to provide through His sacrifice.

Jesus arrived
The arrival of Jesus is not merely a physical movement but a fulfillment of His mission. The Greek word used here, "ἔρχεται" (erchetai), implies coming with purpose. Jesus' arrival at this moment is laden with divine intention, as He is about to institute the Lord's Supper, a new covenant with His disciples. This arrival is a testament to His obedience to the Father's will, knowing the suffering that awaits Him. It is a moment of profound significance, as Jesus steps into His role as the sacrificial Lamb, echoing the prophetic traditions of the Old Testament.

with the Twelve
The mention of "the Twelve" underscores the intimate and chosen nature of Jesus' disciples. These twelve men, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, are symbolic of the new Israel that Jesus is forming. The Greek term "δωδέκα" (dōdeka) emphasizes completeness and divine order. Despite knowing the impending betrayal by one of them, Jesus includes all twelve, demonstrating His commitment to His mission and His love for each disciple. This gathering is a microcosm of the church, flawed yet called, highlighting the grace and patience of Jesus with His followers. The presence of the Twelve at this critical juncture signifies the continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, which Jesus is about to establish through His death and resurrection.

Verse 17. - And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. It was in the evening that the lamb was to be eaten. Peter and John having returned from their preparation, the twelve (including Judas Iscariot) all went back with their Master to Jerusalem.
