Luke 22:7

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. THEN CAME THE DAY OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHEN THE PASSOVER MUST BE KILLED. The day here, alluded to - "the first day of unleavened bread" () - was the 14th Nisan, when, about mid-day, labour was intermitted, and all leaven removed from the houses (). Then, "between the two evenings" (, margin) - or between three and six o'clock-the paschal lamb was killed, and in the evening, when the 15th Nisan began, was eaten. And though "the days of unleavened bread" properly began with the 15th, the preparations for the festival being made on the 14th, it was popularly called, as here, the "first" day of unleavened bread-as we learn from Josephus, whose w...

7-18 Christ kept the ordinances of the law, particularly that of the passover, to teach us to observe his gospel institutions, and most of all that of the Lord's supper. Those who go upon Christ's word, need not fear disappointment. According to the orders given them, the disciples got all ready for the passover. Jesus bids this passover welcome. He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's glory and man's redemption. He takes his leave of all passovers, signifying thereby his doing away all the ordinances of the ceremonial law, of which the passover was one of the earliest and chief. That type was laid aside, because now in the kingdom of God the substance was come....

Verse Luke 22:7. _THE PASSOVER_] πασχα, Luke 22:1, is the name of the _festival_; το πασχα here is supposed to be the name of _that on_ which they _feasted_, viz. the sacrificed paschal lamb. But see the notes on Matthew 26, and especially the observations at the end of that chapter. See Clarke on Mt 26:75...

EXPOSITION LUKE 23:1 THE LAST PASSOVER. LUKE 22:1, LUKE 22:2 _Short explanatory introduction._ LUKE 22:1 NOW THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD DREW NIGH, WHICH IS CALLED THE PASSOVER. These words show that many of the readers for whom this Gospel was intended were foreigners, who were unacquainted with Jewish terms such as the "Passover." _Passover _(τὸ πάσχα, חסף) means, literally, "a passing." The feast so named commemorated the manner

THEN CAME THE DAY OF UNLEAVENED BREAD,.... The first of them, the fourteenth day of the month Nisan: WHEN THE PASSOVER MUST BE KILLED; that is, the passover lamb, as the Persic version renders it; and which, according to the law in Exodus 12:6 was to be done between the two evenings; Matthew 26:17....

Luke 22:1. _Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people._ Dastardly fear often drives men to the greatest crimes. He who is not brave enough to be master of his own spirit, and to follow the dictates of his own conscience, may do, before long, he little knows what. Because of the fear of the people, the chief priests and scribes were driven to compass the death of Christ by craft, and to bring him to his death by the cruel betrayal of Judas, one of his own apostles. Luke 22:3. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And t
