Rusty's Notes

• We left last week on Tuesday Night
• Mary anointed Jesus and Judas went to betray Jesus.
• Now it is Thursday… No mention of Wednesday.
• This will be the last Passover with His disciples.
• The Passover today is not the same as the Passover during Jesus’ days because there is no longer a sacrifice at the Temple.

Preparation for the Passover
Matthew 26:17-19
17 On the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

• The Feast of the Unleavened Bread and the Passover are two different things.
• The “Feast” of the Unleavened Bread was an 8-day celebration that occurred simultaneously with Passover.
• Leviticus 23:5-6 - The Passover to the Lord comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month. 6 The Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord is on the fifteenth day of the same month. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.[1]
• The word “day” or “feast” was added to the original Greek text. Nor should it be capitalized.
• The first of the unleavened bread was the time of preparation before sundown.
• The disciples prepared the Passover meal w/ lamb on Thursday before sundown.
• The Last Supper occurred in the Upper Room after sundown on Thursday.
• The Chagigah sacrifice was a special sacrifice made on Friday (15th day) at 9 AM.
• 30 AD or 33 AD were the two years where the 14th of Nisan fell on a Thursday.

18 “Go into the city to a certain man,” he said, “and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time is near; I am celebrating the Passover at your place with my disciples.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. [2]
 
Mark 14:12-16
12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover so that you may eat it?”
13 So he sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” 16 So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. [3]
 
Luke 22:7-13
7 Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do you want us to prepare it?” they asked him.
10 “Listen,” he said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters. 11 Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ 12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.”
13 So they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. [4]

The First Lord’s Supper
Matthew 26:20
20 When evening came, he was reclining at the table with the Twelve. [5]
 
Mark 14:17
17 When evening came, he arrived with the Twelve.[6]
 
Luke 22:14-16
14 When the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 Then he said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”[7]

• 1 Corinthians 5:6-7 - 6 Don’t you know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new unleavened batch, as indeed you are. For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.[8]​
• Ezekiel 40-48 is our best description of prophecy concerning the Millennial.
• Ezekiel 45:21-25 - 21 “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you are to celebrate the Passover, a festival of seven days during which unleavened bread will be eaten. 22 On that day the prince will provide a bull as a sin offering on behalf of himself and all the people of the land. 23 During the seven days of the festival, he will provide seven bulls and seven rams without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord on each of the seven days, along with a male goat each day for a sin offering. 24 He will also provide a grain offering of half a bushel per bull and half a bushel per ram, along with a gallon of oil for every half bushel. 25 At the festival that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he will provide the same things for seven days—the same sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil. [9]
• Feast of Unleavened Bread & Feast of Tabernacles will be observed during the Millennial.
• All done as a memorial for Jesus has already done.
• Just as the Passover serves as a Memorial for the Exodus out of Egypt.

 
Numbers 9:2-5 - 2 “The Israelites are to observe the Passover at its appointed time. 3 You must observe it at its appointed time on the fourteenth day of this month at twilight; you are to observe it according to all its statutes and ordinances.” 4 So Moses told the Israelites to observe the Passover, 5 and they observed it in the first month on the fourteenth day at twilight in the Wilderness of Sinai. The Israelites did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses. [10]
 
Thursday – Passover proper. The lamb is killed, and Jesus and His disciples eat the Passover meal in the upper room.
 
Friday – the Day of Preparation. Jesus is tried and executed (although never convicted). The Jews continue their “Passover” celebrations with the chagigah, offerings made during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
 
Saturday – the weekly Sabbath.
 
Sunday – Resurrection Day.
