The person sitting to Jesus right, is not Mary Magdalene but St. John, portrayed as a beardless effeminate youth consistent with the artistic style of early 16th century Florence. This reflects what scripture and tradition say about John; namely, that the Evangelist was the youngest of Christ’s disciples. Jesus is right at the center of the painting with two groups of three disciples on either side. The identity of the three disciples to Christ’s right was never in doubt. They are Judas, Peter and John. Furthermore, the Church of Ponte Capriasca near Lake Lugano in Switzerland contains a copy of Leonardo’s Last Supper painted in 1548. On that fresco, the name of each apostle is displayed from left to right, so John’s identity was never in dispute.

Looking across the picture from left to right:
Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.
Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.
Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.
Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.
Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

No one! There was no "last supper." I eat supper every day! Left to right is my husband, myself, my daughters and my son.
