• Mark 14:12 . . 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?
That passage can be a bit misleading for folks unaware that the seven-day
feast of Unleavened Bread (a.k.a. Passover) consists of a total of eight days.
The "first day" is when all the lambs are slaughtered and roasted with fire,
ready to eat by sunset; which is when the seven-day part of the feast kicks
off seeing as how the Jews' holy days begin and end with sunset.
In other words: the "first day" isn't a holy day. In point of fact it is a very
busy day because of all the preparations that have to be made for dinner
that night; which includes a witch hunt (so to speak) for any and all
leavened bread in the Jews' homes.
• Matt 26:3 . .Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled
in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted
to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him. But not during the Feast-- they
said --or there may be a riot among the people.
They failed to accomplish Jesus' death apart from the Feast.
The fixings for Jesus' Passover were prepared on the day leading up to the
night of his arrest. The Jews prepared for their Passover on the day of his
crucifixion. In other words: Jesus' Passover was prepared a day ahead of
theirs.
He being a prophet in direct contact with God would know the correct date of
the "first day" of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, whereas the Jews'
calculations were vulnerable to human error. Consequently the Jews were
unaware that their religious calendar was running behind that year.
I'm guessing that God kept them in the dark because a correct calendar
wasn't near as important to Him as it was for Jesus to be slain during the
Jews' preparations. So then; while the Jews were slaying lambs for dinner
that night, the cross was simultaneously slaying the lamb of God.
• Isa 53:5-6 . . He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for
our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by
his wounds we are healed.
. . .We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own
way; and The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
