Because God’s days begin and end at sunset, the actual Passover ceremony that Jesus
observed with His disciples occurred Tuesday night after dark Matthew 26:17-30
- some info on subject
17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying,
“Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
-here they call passover, as the first day of Unleavened Bread festival
That night, during the ceremony, Jesus changed the symbols,
explaining that He was now that Passover sacrifice
(Matthew 26:26-28). Mark 14:12-26
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said,
“Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them,
and they all drank of it. And he said to them,
“This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many.
- a covenent, his blood
Luke 22:7-39
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying,
“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
- remember him, when ? how often ? once a year ?
20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying,
“This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood
- changed priest hood also, like it was done before, was once a year Holyday.
John 13-17:26
13 Now before (the Feast) of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come
to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
-by the time of Jesus, they lumped both holy days together, all 8 days,
and it is very confusing, look in the old way mabe see how was done proper.
- this feast is not the same as the last supper,
they wanted to kill him (before) the feast, and they did, and took him down
so not desecerate the High Sabbath, that was a sin
the High Holyday they celebrated the most, but all 8 days became one big festivel.
The Bible says that Jesus Christ was crucified on Passover (Matthew 26:2).
the Easter tradition for Christians began with “the words of the ancient Nicene Creed”—not with the Bible.
Jesus Christ died in a.d. 31. The Passover that year fell on Wednesday, April 25 (not Friday).
-anyother way would make Christ a lier, we know that is not true.
