Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.They must take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat them.They are to eat the meat that night; they should eat it, roasted over the fire along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.Do not eat any of it raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over fire— its head as well as its legs and inner organs.Do not let any of it remain until morning; you must burn up any part of it that does remain before morning.Here is how you must eat it: you must be dressed for travel, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in a hurry; it is the Lord’s Passover.“ I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. I am Yahweh; I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt.The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a distinguishing mark for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will be among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.“ This day is to be a memorial for you, and you must celebrate it as a festival to the Lord. You are to celebrate it throughout your generations as a permanent statute.You must eat unleavened bread for seven days. On the first day you must remove yeast from your houses. Whoever eats what is leavened from the first day through the seventh day must be cut off from Israel.You are to hold a sacred assembly on the first day and another sacred assembly on the seventh day. No work may be done on those days except for preparing what people need to eat— you may do only that.“ You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread because on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent statute.You are to eat unleavened bread in the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day of the month until the evening of the twenty-first day.Yeast must not be found in your houses for seven days. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a foreign resident or native of the land, must be cut off from the community of Israel.Do not eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them,“ Go, select an animal from the flock according to your families, and slaughter the Passover animal.Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and brush the lintel and the two doorposts with some of the blood in the basin. None of you may go out the door of his house until morning.When the Lord passes through to strike Egypt and sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, He will pass over the door and not let the destroyer enter your houses to strike you.

After two days it was the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a treacherous way to arrest and kill Him.“ Not during the festival,” they said,“ or there may be rioting among the people.”

The Passover to the Lord comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month.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.

The Jewish Passover was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country to purify themselves before the Passover.They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple complex:“ What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will He?”The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it so they could arrest Him.

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast or with the yeast of malice and evil but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

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 You may eat it?”

“ You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,and they conspired to arrest Jesus in a treacherous way and kill Him.“ Not during the festival,” they said,“ so there won’t be rioting among the people.”
