Matthew 26:18
"Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”"
Key Reflection
On the first day of unleavened bread, which marks the beginning of the week-long Passover celebration, Jesus' disciples asked where they should prepare for the Passover meal. This request would have been significant as the Passover was a central and solemn feast in Jewish tradition, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The original audience would have understood that this meal held deep historical and theological meaning, symbolizing freedom and covenant faithfulness, making its preparation an important ritual task.
