THE PASSOVER IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT

By Dr. & Mrs. Elias E. Hidalgo

TWENTY-EIGHT TIMES PESACH (PASSOVER) IS MENTIONED IN THE BRIT HA-DASHA (NEW TESTAMENT) AS A TESTIMONY TO THE VERACITY OF PASSOVER AND IT'S GOD GIVEN ORDINANCE TO ISRAEL AND TO ALL PEOPLE THAT WILL OBSERVE IT ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.

THE BASIC PRINCIPAL OF KEEPING PASSOVER FOR A CHILD OF GOD COMES FROM THE FACT THAT OUR LORD JESUS KEPT PESACH, AND HE SAW FIT TO LEAVE US THIS WONDERFUL HISTORICAL AND INSPIRATIONAL RECORD IN EVENTS THAT RECORD HIS DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION, THAT IS, THE NEW TESTAMENT.

THEREFORE, WE AT SHALOM SCRIPTURE STUDIES ENJOY AND RELISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT JESUS DID LONG AGO, AS RECORDED IN LUKE 22: 15, 'WITH DESIRE I HAVE DESIRED TO EAT THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU BEFORE I SUFFER'.

In The Book of Matthew

Matthew 26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

Matthew 26:17 Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

Matthew 26:18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

Matthew 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

In The Book of Mark

Mark 14:1 After two days was [the feast of] the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put [him] to death.

Mark 14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?

Mark 14:14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

Mark 14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

In The Book of Luke

Luke 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.

Luke 22:1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

In The Book of John

John 2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast [day], many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

John 11:55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

John 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

John 18:39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

The Epistle of I Corinthians

1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
