7 - Then came the days of unleavened (bread) when it was necessary the Passover lamb be sacrificed. {This is an important and crucial lesson - expressed as in a drama. The sacrifice hAd to be. Is it possible that anything less dramatic could not reach “aLL” - could not appease every conscience, including of the most cruel despots, etc.} [The days: Passover, a “preparation” day, for the meal on First Day of Unleavened Bread, which is the next day (actually evening, as the days begin at sunset rather than midnight).]

     8 So Jesus sent Peter and John ahead saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” {I think it was common for some to eat the meal on Passover?} 9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he will show you a large upper room that is furnished. Prepare it there.” 13 And they went and found it just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

     14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said, “I have wanted to eat this Passover with you before my suffering. 16 For I tell you I will not eat of it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
