1 | Passover the first of Unleavened Bread? | Matt 26:17 | jdpindynet | 32118 | ||
Jesusman, Ok, let's count the days. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21. That's eight days. First is the Passover, followed by the Feast of Unleavened Bread (seven days). The 14th (at twilight, or in the evening) is the Passover of the Lord. The 15th and 21st are the 'Holy Convocations' of Unleavened Bread. So I still have my original question. Why are the disciples asking Jesus where he wants them to prepare for the Passover on the first day of Unleavened Bread? Aren't they a day late?

2 | Is the word 'twilight' confusing? | Matt 26:17 | jdpindynet | 32117 | ||
Let me be more specific. The reference in Leviticus is: Lev 23:5 'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the LORD'S Passover. Lev 23:6 'Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. This certainly implies that first the Passover occurs, and then the Feast of Unleavened Bread follows. The only thing that makes me question this is the 'twilight' reference. If a westerner says "I will meet you at midnight Tuesday," it leaves some doubt about whether he is talking about Tuesday night / Wednesday morning, or Monday night / Tuesday morning. Can the same be said about "the fourteenth day of the month at twilight?" |

3 | Unleavened Bread Prior to Passover? | Matt 26:17 | jdpindynet | 32063 | ||
In Leviticus the Lord's Passover is said to be the 14th day of the first month, and is followed by the 7 day long Feast of Unleavened Bread beginning on the 15th day of the first month. In Matt 26:17, the disciples ask Jesus where He wants them to prepare for the Passover meal, but it is already the first day of Unleavened Bread. How can this be? It seems the feast days are in the wrong order. Thank you in advance for your reply. |
