Bible Question: What is the difference between Jesus' desire to "keep the Passover" and the offer of the disciples in verse 17 to prepare for Him "to eat the Passover?" (Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?") |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs None. Jesus knew He was the fulfillment of the Passover, He was the Passover Lamb. He wanted to eat or share that feast/ritual with His disciples once more so that point would later be driven home to them. EdB |
