Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him,
Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
-and commanded his church to keep them.
24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened.
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
The Ressurection

Road to Emmaus
13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs
- gossip and comotion going everywhere in the city,
(Mark 16:19-20
yes they worshiped the risen savior with joy i would to, Amen
but there is no command or planned meeting,it just fell on first day week that year,
- now lets look at (Acts 1:6-11)
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread,
- breaking bread is eating a meal, yes they gave thanks and ate, but not a regilious sabbath.
now the sabbath just ended at dark, they came to eat food, planning to leave at daylite,
he had a chance to preach somemore, after things upstars it was midnight,only about 4 hours dark,
Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
They broke bread on the first day to eat, while preaching the gospel of the Kingdom.
