Luc 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:1

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh
Which lasted seven days; during which the Jews eat their bread without leaven, in commemoration of the haste in which they went out of Egypt; being such, that they had not time to leaven their dough, but took it with their kneadingtroughs along with them, as it was; and as figurative of the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, with which the Gospel feast is to be kept; see ( Exodus 12:34 ) ( 1 Corinthians 5:8 ) . Which is called the passover;
because the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew all the firstborn in Egypt; now the time of this feast drew near, when the conspiracy was formed against the life of Christ: Matthew and Mark are more precise, and suggest, that it was two days before the passover; see ( Matthew 26:2 ) ( Mark 14:1 ) .

Luc 22:1 In-Context

1 La fête des pains sans levain, appelée la Pâque, approchait.
2 Et les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes cherchaient comment ils pourraient faire mourir Jésus; car ils craignaient le peuple.
3 Or Satan entra dans Judas, surnommé l'Iscariote, qui était au nombre des douze;
4 Et il s'en alla, et parla avec les principaux sacrificateurs et les chefs des gardes, sur la manière dont il le leur livrerait.
5 Ils en eurent de la joie, et ils convinrent de lui donner de l'argent.
