Bible Question: I have heard there was a sacrifice taking place in the Temple at the same time Jesus was being crucified on that Fri. afternoon. I have not been able to find a reference to substantiate this. Does anyone know if there was a sacrifice that day. Was it the daily sacrifice or was it some special one? |
Bible Answer: It is inferred from the Passover regulations. The hour Jesus died as darkness was approaching was the hour that the Passover lamb was slaughtered. It was the day of Preparation John 19:42.See also Exodus 12:6 the Passover lamb was to be slaughtered in "the evening twilight." John 19:30 The foot note in the Ignatius Study Bibles says that in the sixth hour, about noon, the lambs were being slain in the Temple courts for the Passover that evening. Many people came to Jerusalem for the Passover so that they could have their lambs slain in the Temple predcincts and celebrated the Passover in the holy city. The volume lambs that needed to be slain obviouslty called for the process to begin well before dusk so that the work was done before then. |
