Luke 22:2

"Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching."

Key Reflection

The verse indicates that the annual celebration of the Passover was nearing, a significant event for first-century Jews as it commemorated their liberation from slavery in Egypt. This feast was not just a religious observance but also a family reunion and a reminder of God's deliverance, deeply rooted in their historical memory and cultural identity.
