TreeOfLife Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Two Questions for Jasd I. . . . Incidentals and particulars: St Luke uses the quite proper “day” (singular) of unleavened bread in Luke 22:7; however, in Acts 12:4 – he transitions to the plural use “days” [of unleavened bread]. That has St Luke separating the Pascha from that immediately following... [color emphasis added/ToL] Quote http://adamoh.org

Please specify for me!? Thanks!<< Umm, I believe you will have to reread the entire thread to make sense of my above quote. As I recall (take my ‘recollective’ abilities with a caveat), someone had suggested that St Luke referred to the Days of Unleavened Bread – including the 14th – as Passover, or Days of Unleavened Bread. I believe I was pointing out that St Luke referred to the day of the Pasch in the singular vis-à-vis his plural use of the aforementioned ‘Days of ...”. [/paraphrasing previously submitted material] Quote: Quote:jasd …Umm, correct me should I err, but doesn’t Passover/Pasch specifically reference the sacrifice of either the lamb or the goat? And that would have occurred on the 14th, yes? >>It seems clear to me that the Passover sacrifice was made at the sunset hour between the 14th and 15th. Cf. Deuteronomy 16:3-4. Is this how you perceive it as well?<< Many aver that Jesus Christ died between the evenings; however, there are different schools of thought re this. Some hold that between the two evenings referred to a period from afternoon to sun’s set – and others hold that it represents the time between dusk (sunset) and darkness – a period usually lasting less than an hour. Personally, I cannot subscribe to the latter as there were almost numberless lambs and goats that would have had to have been slaughtered by the priests at that time* – either quite a remarkable or an impossible feat. Moreover, should Jesus Christ have actually been the Type for the Pasch, Matthew 27 states that it was about the ninth hour** when Jesus Christ cried out and shortly thereafter, gave up His Spirit into Gd’s keeping..., that would place Jesus Christ’s death at approximately a little past 3:00 PM. Three days and three nights later – the afternoon of the Sabbath – He arose from the tomb. The above stated, since first given – the time variances introduced into both the ceremony of the Pasch and the eating of the Unleavened Bread leaves me wondering at them... *Josephus, if taken at face value, informs us that a quarter of a million lambs were killed at Passover with the blood flowing out the back of the Temple down into the Kidron valley... **Sunset occurred about 6:00 PM in Jerusalem at the time of Passover.
