The New Testament accounts of the Last Supper state that Jesus and his disciples sang a psalm or hymn after the meal before leaving for the Mount of Olives (, ), which was probably the Hallel. The Last Supper was almost certainly a celebration of the Passover and Jesus like any other Jew in the first century, would have known how to chant the Psalms in Hebrew, especially the famous Hallel psalms which were an integral part of the Passover.
