Where will You that we prepare for You to eat the Pesach?
————
17 Now before [4723] [4724] the moed of Chag Matzoth the talmidim came to YAH-USHA, saying to Him, Where will You that we prepare for You to eat the Pesach? [4725]
18 And He said, Go into the city to a man who will be a volunteer for the task, [4726] and say to him, The Master said, My time is at hand; I will keep the Pesach at your bayit with My talmidim.[4727]
19 And the talmidim [4728] did as YAH-USHA had commanded them; and they made ready The Pesach.
20 Now when the evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. [4729]
21 And as they did eat, He said, Truly I say to you, That one of you shall betray Me.
22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful and began each one of them to say to Him, Master, is it I?
Matthew (Mattityahu) 26:17-22 RSTNE 7th Edition
Study Notes:
[4723] Strong’s Greek # 4413. The Greek word here is protos, which depending on the context, can mean “before” as in the first of a series of sequential events, or “first” as in a number. Obviously here it means “before,” or the first in a series of sequential preparation events, because Messiah died on the afternoon of preparation and as such was dead before the Jewish Passover. He had celebrated the Passover according to the Priestly Calendar the night before. [4724] Hebrew, Aramaic and Talmud Bavli. Sanhedrin 43, all testify that Messiah was hung on Passover before Unleavened Bread. [4725] We see here again that it was not yet Passover, so it certainly couldn’t be the first Day of Unleavened Bread, which is the day after Passover. [4726] Shem Tov reference. [4727] The Passover! Note that this is not a lord’s supper, memoprial meal or crackers and juice festival but The actual correct priestly Passover of Torah, prophets priests and angels, which took place one nght before the false lunar rabbinic Passover. We must not twist Messiah’s words to fit our theological bent. [4728] All 12 tribes represented. [4729] Passover is on the third day of the week each year on the Solar priestly times, which is what we see Messiah following. He hung on Day 4 of the week and rose 3 days later after the eternal true creation Shabbat. This is an actual Passover not a “lord’s supper” or a memorial meal.Glossary of Hebrew Words:
