14 - Then one of his twelve disciples, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. 15 And he said to them, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.

     17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread [which days begin at sunset] the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” [The Spring holy days are Passover, at the full moon, and 14th day of the first month. The next day, the 15th, is the First Day of Unleavened Bread. But the entire week was referred to by both names, either Passover or Unleavened Bread. And the two days were also referred to interchangeably. THiS first day has to be Passover day itself — which begins at sunset — rather than at midnight. Spring holy week has three Sabbaths (“no work” days) so it also has three prep days before them. These things all work to veil how utterly perfectly Jesus fulfilled these Spring holy days by his first (so brief) advent. He died on Passover - was in the grave as 1st day of Unleavened Bread was beginning - and rose exactly three days later as the third holy day of the week was beginning — a day which always follows the regular, weekly, Sabbath. Whereas Passover and 1st UB day - the 14th and 15th - are “moveable feasts” occurring each year on different days of the week.]

     18 Jesus told them (two of the disciples) to go into the city to a certain man and say to him, “The Teacher says, my time is near, and I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they went and prepared for the Passover. {The Passover meal would not be eaten until after sunset when Passover had ended, and 1st day of Unleavened Bread had begun.

     Jesus died on Passover (day) at the very hour of the Passover sacrifices. And he was put in the grave at 1st day of Unleavened Bread. And rose on Firstfruits.}
