Robertson Word Pictures - Luke 22:1 - 22:1


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

The Passover (pascha) Both names (unleavened bread and passover) are used here as in Mar 14:1. Strictly speaking the passover was Nisan 14 and the unleavened bread 15-21. This is the only place in the N.T. where the expression “the feast of unleavened bread” (common in lxx, Exodus 23:15, etc.) occurs, for Mar 14:1 has just “the unleavened bread.” Mat 26:17 uses unleavened bread and passover interchangeably.

Drew nigh (ēggizen). Imperfect active. Mar 14:1; Mat 26:2 mention “after two days” definitely.
