Good Friday?

To believe that the disciples asked where to make ready the Passover after sundown of the 13th, during the night time of the 14th would presume that the disciples understood that this was not going to be a normal Passover meal but something different. I believe that this would have been the farthest thing from their mind. They didn't even understand that their master was to be crucified. This concept was totally over their heads.


Christ and His disciples ate Israel's Passover at the appointed time, after sundown of the 14th, the beginning of the 15th.

If not, His disciples would have questioned and protested the inappropriate timing.

The Lord Jesus and His disciples were living under the law!

God has appointments he put in place before time. God stands by his appointments.

On Aviv/Nisan/(1st month) on the 14th God told Israel to sacrifice a lamb and eat it before the morning of the 15th. During Egypt God followed this time line and commanded it for ever.

Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever

Christ was the Passover Lamb which was to be sacrificed on the 14th and eaten by the morning of the 15th.

Do you believe God does not make his appointments?

This is the day God brought Israel out of Egypt. It is separate from Unleavened bread even though they are back to back in days.

Exodus 12:51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

With Christ God has separated us from the curse of sin. He has brought us out of sin. Do you think he would not make the same day appointments? Does God Change?

After Passover starts the feast of unleavened bread when no leaven should be found in the house and they should only eat unleavened bread. Christ once again fulfills this as he talks of the leaven or extra biblical doctrines of the pharisees that they were to discard from their lives that were causing sin.

During Unleaven came the first fruits which Christ was also. He was presented before God and risen from the dead to be the first fruits. Once again God met his previous appointed days.

50 days after first fruits is Shavuot or Pentecost. God presented Israel with the Law during Shavuot speaking to them directly but they refused to hear and asked that Moses speak to God and speak to them instead which once again they rejected. He then again present them with the Law during Yom Kippur during the 7th month on the 10th day.

During Pentecost God also gave his holy spirit to the disciples to teach them the law also.

God has made all these appointments and there appointed times. Do you think God missed the mark on the day his Son became the sacrificial Passover lamb for all?

The Lord Jesus, according to the text, ate the Passover with His disciples at the proper time, regardless of what stretch of the imagination and flurry of words opposers want to use, which means
that Joh 18:28 can not be referring to the Passover seder which took place at sundown the beginning of the 15th.

If that is true then Jesus would have died on the afternoon of the 15th, been entombed as the Sabbath began and was raised as Sunday began, is that right?

Wait! The Sabbath was the 15th so how could Jesus be entombed as the Sabbath began and died the afternoon of that same day?

I don't follow your theory. Please explain.
