Exodus 12:1-28

12:1 Instructions for the Feast of Passover And Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
12:2 “This month will be the beginning of months; it will be for you the first of the months of the year.
12:3 Speak to all the community of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, they will each take for themselves a lamb for the family, a lamb for the household.
12:4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, he and the neighbor nearest to his house will take one according to the number of persons; you will count out portions of the lamb according to how much each one can eat.
12:5 The lamb for you must be a male, without defect, in its first year; you will take it from the sheep or from the goats.
12:6 “You will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and all the assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight.
12:7 And they will take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel on the houses in which they eat it.
12:8 And they will eat the meat on this night; they will eat it fire-roasted and with unleavened bread on bitter herbs.
12:9 You must not eat any of it raw or boiled, boiled in the water, but rather roasted with fire, its head with its legs and with its inner parts.
12:10 And you must not leave any of it until morning; anything left from it until morning you must burn in the fire.
12:11 And this is how you will eat it—with your waists fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you will eat it in haste. It is Yahweh’s Passover.
12:12 “And I will go through the land of Egypt during this night, and I will strike all of the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from human to animal, and I will do punishments among all of the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
12:13 And the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you, and there will not be a destructive plague among you when I strike the land of Egypt.
12:14 “And this day will become a memorial for you, and you will celebrate it as a religious feast for Yahweh throughout your generations; you will celebrate it as a lasting statute.
12:15 You will eat unleavened bread for seven days. Surely on the first day you shall remove yeast from your houses, because anyone who eats food with yeast from the first day until the seventh day—that person will be cut off from Israel.
12:16 It will be for you on the first day a holy assembly and on the seventh day a holy assembly; no work will be done on them; only what is eaten by every person, it alone will be prepared for you.
12:17 “And you will keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because on this very day I brought out your divisions from the land of Egypt, and you will keep this day for your generations as a lasting statute.
12:18 On the first day, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you will eat unleavened bread until the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
12:19 For seven days yeast must not be found in your houses, because anyone eating food with yeast will be cut off from the community of Israel—whether an alien or a native of the land.
12:20 You will eat no food with yeast; in all of your dwellings you will eat unleavened bread.”
12:21 And Moses called all the elders of Israel, and he said to them, “Select and take for yourselves sheep for your clans and slaughter the Passover sacrifice.
12:22 And take a bunch of hyssop and dip it into the blood that is in the basin and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts. And you will not go out, anyone from the doorway of his house, until morning.
12:23 And Yahweh will go through to strike Egypt, and he will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and Yahweh will pass over the doorway and will not allow the destroyer to come to your houses to strike you.
12:24 “And you will keep this event as a rule for you and for your children forever.
12:25 And when you come into the land that Yahweh will give to you, as he said, you will keep this religious custom.
12:26 And when your children say to you, ‘What is this religious custom for you?’
12:27 you will say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice for Yahweh, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he struck Egypt; and he delivered our houses.’” And the people knelt down and they worshiped.
12:28 And the Israelites went, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.

Luke 22:7-20

22:7 Jesus’ Final Passover with the Disciples And the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which it was necessary for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed.
22:8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.
22:9 So they said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?”
22:10 And he said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.
22:11 And you will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
22:12 And he will show you a large furnished upstairs room. Make preparations there.”
22:13 So they went and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
22:14 The Lord’s Supper And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him.
22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
22:16 For I tell you that I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
22:17 And he took in hand a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.
22:18 For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
22:19 And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
22:20 And in the same way the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you.

Matthew 27:15-26

27:15 Pilate Releases Barabbas Now at each feast, the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd—the one whom they wanted.
27:16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner named Jesus Barabbas.
27:17 So after they had assembled, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you—Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ?”
27:18 (For he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.
27:19 And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent a message to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much as a result of a dream today because of him.”)
27:20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas and put Jesus to death.
27:21 So the governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”
27:22 Pilate said to them, “What then should I do with Jesus, the one who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!”
27:23 And he said, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they began to shout even louder, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
27:24 So Pilate, when he saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but instead an uproar was developing, took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this man. You see to it!”
27:25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
27:26 Then he released Barabbas for them, but after he had Jesus flogged, he handed him over so that he could be crucified.

John 19:28-37

19:28 Jesus Dies on the Cross After this, Jesus, knowing that now at last everything was completed, in order that the scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”
19:29 A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it to his mouth.
19:30 Then when he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed,” and bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.
19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.
19:32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him.
19:33 But when they came to Jesus, after they saw he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.
19:35 And the one who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true, and that person knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.
19:36 For these things happened in order that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not a bone of his will be broken.”
19:37 And again another scripture says, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”

1 Corinthians 5:6-8

5:6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough?
5:7 Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
5:8 So then, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old leaven or with the leaven of wickedness and sinfulness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
