48 When his parents saw him, they were amazed. His mother said to him: “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.

11 and say to the owner of the house: "The teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?"
12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.
13 They went and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

14 Tell the owner of the house to enter: "The teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I can eat Passover with my disciples?"
15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make arrangements for us there.
16 The disciples left, entered the city, and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

18 As they reclined at the table eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."
19 They became sad, and one by one they said to him, "Are you sure you don't mean me?"
20 “He is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me.
21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he hadn't been born.

Leviticus 23
1 The LORD said to Moses:
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies.
3 “'There are six days when you can work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest, a day of sacred meeting. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to Jehovah.
4 “'These are the Lord's appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies that you must proclaim at the appointed times:
5 The Lord's Passover begins at sundown on the fourteenth day of the first month.
6 On the fifteenth day of that month begins the Feast of the Lord's Unleavened Bread; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast.
7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
8 For seven days, present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day, hold a holy assembly and do no regular work."
9 The LORD said to Moses:
10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'When you enter the land that I will give you and you will harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.
11 He must wave the sheaf before the Lord so that it may be accepted on his behalf; the priest must shake it the day after the Sabbath.
12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you must offer a one-year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,
13 along with his grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with olive oil (a food offering presented to the Lord, a pleasing aroma) and his drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.
14 You must not eat bread, roast or new grain, until the same day that you bring this offering to your God. This will be a lasting ordinance for generations to come, wherever they live.
15 “'From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the offering of the wave offering, count seven full weeks.
16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord.
17 From where you live, bring two loaves made from two-tenths of an ephah of the best flour, baked with leaven, as a firstfruits offering to the Lord.
18 Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without blemish, a young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, along with your grain offerings and drink offerings: a food offering, an aroma that pleases the LORD.
19 Then sacrifice a male goat for a sin offering and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering.
20 The priest is to wave the two lambs before the LORD as an offering, along with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the LORD for the priest.
21 That same day you must proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This will be a lasting ordinance for generations to come, wherever they live.
22 “'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the edges of your field or reap the crops of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.”
23 The LORD said to Moses,
24 “Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you will have a Sabbath day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with the sound of the trumpet.
25 Don't do regular work, but present a food offering to the Lord."
26 The LORD said to Moses,
27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a holy assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD.
28 Do not do any work on that day, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
29 Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be separated from their people.
30 I will destroy from among his people whoever works that day.
31 You will not do any work. This will be a lasting ordinance for generations to come, wherever they live.
32 It is a Sabbath day of rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening, you must observe your Sabbath."
33 The LORD said to Moses,
34 “Say to the Israelites, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month begins the Feast of Tabernacles of the Lord, which lasts seven days.
35 The first day is a sacred assembly; not do regular work
36 For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the Lord. It is the special closing assembly; not do regular work
37 (“'These are the festivals appointed by the LORD, which you must proclaim as sacred assemblies to bring the food offerings to the LORD: the burnt offerings and the grain offerings, the sacrifices, and the drink offerings required for each day.
38 These offerings are in addition to the Sabbath offerings of the LORD and in addition to your gifts and all that you have promised and all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.)
39 “'Then, beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered in the crops of the land, keep the feast to the Lord for seven days; the first day is a Sabbath day of rest, and the eighth day is also a Sabbath day of rest.
40 On the first day you are to take branches from lush trees—palms, willows, and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41 Celebrate this as a feast to the Lord for seven days each year. This will be a lasting ordinance for generations to come; Celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Live in temporary shelters for seven days: all native Israelites must live in such shelters
43 so that your descendants will know that I made the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”
44 Then Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.
exodus 12
1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt:
2 “This month will be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
3 Tell the entire community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.
4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, taking into account how many people there are. You should determine the amount of lamb needed based on what each person will eat.
5 The animals you choose must be one-year-old males without defects, and you can pick them from sheep or goats.
6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must kill them at nightfall.
7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where the lambs eat.
8 That same night they must eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast.
9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire, with the head, legs and internal organs.
10 Do not leave anything until morning; if there is anything left until morning, he must burn it.
11 This is how you should eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, sandals on your feet, and staff in hand. Eat it in a hurry; It is the Passover of the Lord.
12 “That very night I will pass through Egypt and strike all the firstborn of people and animals, and I will judge all the gods of Egypt. I am the lord
13 The blood will be a sign for you in the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will walk over you. No destructive plague will touch you when it attacks Egypt.
14 “This is a day to commemorate; for generations to come they will celebrate it as a feast to the Lord, a lasting ordinance.
15 For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. On the first day, remove the leaven from your houses, because whoever eats anything with leaven from the first day to the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
16 On the first day he holds a sacred assembly and another on the seventh day. Don't work at all these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that's all you can do.
17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for generations to come.
18 In the first month you must eat unleavened bread, from the evening of the fourteenth day to the evening of the twenty-first.
19 For seven days no leaven will be found in their houses. And anyone, whether foreign or native, who eats anything that contains leaven must be excluded from the community of Israel.
20 Do not eat anything made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread.
21 So Moses called together all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go immediately and select the animals for your families and sacrifice the Passover lamb.
22 Take a bunch of swab, dip it into the blood in the container and put some blood on the top and both sides of the door frame. None of you will be out your front door until morning.
23 When the LORD passes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the door frame and will pass through that gate, and he will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
24 “Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants.
25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as promised, observe this ceremony.
26 And when your children ask you, "What does this ceremony mean to you?"
27 then say to them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed through the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and saved our houses when he struck down the Egyptians.'" Then the people bowed down and adored
28 The Israelites did exactly as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.
29 At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who was sitting on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the cattle as well.
30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was a loud mourning in Egypt, because there was not a house without someone dead.
31 During the night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said to them, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have asked.
32 Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”
33 The Egyptians urged the people to hurry up and leave the country. "Otherwise," they said, "we will all die!"
34 Then the people took their dough before the leaven was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading buckets wrapped in clothes.
35 The Israelites did as Moses commanded and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and clothing.
36 The LORD had caused the Egyptians to dispose favorably toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; So they plundered the Egyptians.
37 The Israelites traveled from Ramses to Sukkot. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, plus women and children.
38 Many other people went up with them, and also large herds of cattle, both herds and herds.
39 With the dough that the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was unleavened because they had been expelled from Egypt and did not have time to prepare their food.
40 Now the period of time that the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.
41 At the end of the 430 years, to this day, all the divisions of the Lord left Egypt.
42 Because the Lord watched that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all Israelites must watch to honor the Lord for generations to come.
43 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal: “No foreigner may eat it.
44 Any slave you have bought may eat him after he is circumcised,
45 but temporary resident or contract worker cannot eat it.
46 “It must be eaten inside the house; don't take any meat out of the house. Don't break any of the bones.
47 The whole community of Israel should celebrate it.
48 “A foreigner who resides among you and wants to celebrate the Lord's Passover must circumcise all the males of his household; then he can participate as one born on earth. No uncircumcised male may eat it.
49 The same law applies to both natives and foreigners residing among you."
50 All the Israelites did exactly as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 And that same day the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
Matthew 26
1 When Jesus finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples:
2 "As you know, Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."
3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 and planned to secretly arrest Jesus and kill him.
5 "But not during the festival," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."
6 While Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper,
7 a woman approached him with an alabaster bottle of very expensive perfume, which she poured over his head as he reclined at the table.
8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.
9 "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."
10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.
11 The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.
12 When he poured this perfume on my body, he did so to prepare me for burial.
13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
14 Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests.
15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” Then they counted for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 From then on, Judas looked for an opportunity to hand him over.
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, “The Master says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate Easter with my disciples in your house.”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had commanded them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at table with the Twelve.
21 And while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after another, "Don't you mean me, Lord?"
23 Jesus replied, “Whoever has put his hand into the container with me will betray me.
24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he hadn't been born.
25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?" Jesus answered: “You have said it”.
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he gave thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body."
27 Then he took a cup, and when he gave thanks, he gave it to them, saying: “Drink from it, all of you.
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
30 After they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Then Jesus said to them, "This very night you will all fall because of me, for it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'
32 But after he has risen, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
33 Peter replied, "Even if everything falls apart because of you, I never will."
34 "Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."
35 But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same thing.
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go there and pray."
37 He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons with him, and he began to feel sad and worried.
38 Then he said to them: “My soul is overwhelmed with pain to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.
39 Going a little further, he fell facedown on the ground and prayed: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup be taken from me. However, not as I will do it, but as you will do it.
40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Couldn't you keep an eye on me for an hour?" she asked Peter.
41 “Look and pray that you do not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42 He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot be taken from me unless I drink it, your will be done."
43 When he returned, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Then he returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
46 Get up! Let us go! Here comes my traitor!
47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now the traitor had arranged a sign with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.”
49 Turning immediately to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and i kissed him
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
51 With that, one of Jesus' companions took his sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus told him, “because everyone who draws the sword will die by the sword.
53 Do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and he will immediately put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But then, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?
55 At that hour Jesus said to the crowd: “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me.
56 But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets may be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples abandoned him and fled.
57 Those who arrested Jesus brought him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders gathered.
58 But Peter followed him at a distance, into the courtyard of the high priest. He entered and sat with the guards to see the result.
59 The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could kill him.
60 But they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
61 and stated, "This guy said, 'I can destroy God's temple and rebuild it in three days.'
62 Then the high priest got up and said to Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?
63 But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him: "I accuse you under oath of the living God: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."
64 "You have said it," answered Jesus. "But I say to all of you: from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes and said: “You have spoken blasphemy! Why do we need more witnesses? Look, now you've heard the blasphemy.
66 What do you think? "He is worthy of death," they replied.
67 They then spat in his face and beat him with their fists. Others slapped him
68 and said: “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?"
69 Now Peter was sitting in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. "You were also with Jesus of Galilee," she said.
70 But he denied it before all of them. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said.
71 Then he went out to the front door, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
72 He denied it again, with an oath: "I do not know the man!"
73 After a while, those who were there came up to Peter and said, “Surely you're one of them; your accent gives you away.”
74 Then he began to call down curses and swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.
75 Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said: “Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
