【To Know Holy Communion】On the evening of 13th day of the 1st month

Jesus and his disciples ate the Passover feast.

The Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month. The Feast of Unleavened Bread lasted seven days from the fifteenth to the twenty-first day of first month. Jesus was crucified at Passo-ver. By the time of the Unleavened Feast, Jesus could not eat the Passover feast on the day

because Jesus had already been taken from cross. Therefore, the day to eat Passover is not re-quired to be on 14th day mentioned in the old covenant. Church in new covenant eat Lord Supper at any day.

And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the Lord .(Numbers 28:16 KJV)

In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover. (Leviticus 23:5 KJV)

They are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. The whole Israelite community is to kill it at twilight. "(Exodus 12:6 KJV)

Purge out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, since you are unleavened flour. For even Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. "(1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV)

Let's take a look at how the time of Unleavened Festival is calculated:

The Unleavened Festival is from the 15th to the 21st day of the first month.

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day hold a sacred convocation and do no regular work. For seven days present an offering made to the Lord by fire. On the seventh day is a sacred convocation; do no regular work." "(Leviticus 23:6-8)

Because the time of a day is night before day (Genesis 1:5 KJV).That is, from the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month to the evening of the 21st day of the first lunar month.

In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day of the month until the evening of the twenty-first day, you are to eat unleavened bread. "(Exodus 12:18 KJV)

When does the Unleavened Festival begin? Instead of starting in the daytime on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it started in the evening on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

Duration of Unleavened Festival:

The evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month The evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month The day of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month......

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month, it was already the fifteenth day of the first month.

That is, Jesus and his disciples had a Passover feast on the evening of the thirteenth day of the first month. Then he was crucified on the fourteenth day of the first month. He died on cross at twi-light on the fourteenth day of the first month. Jesus had already been taken down from the cross on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.

Passover time: the 13th night of the first month and the 14th day of the first month. That's Tues-day night and Wednesday day.

The crucifixion of Jesus on Wednesday evening and the resurrection of Jesus on Saturday evening fulfilled the prophecy of the Son of Man on three days and three nights in the earth.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. "(Matthew 12:40 KJV)
