“Jesus Reclining and Eating…”

“Jesus Reclining and Eating…”

Blessings folk!

Once again…

Mar 14:17-18

When it was evening He came with the twelve.

As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said,
“Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”

Here is my current understanding as to the previous questions.

Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
Jesus was died at 3 p.m. on Nisan 14.

The Passover meal would have been as sundown at the beginning of Nisan 15, the first day of the feast of unleavened bread.

Therefore, the meal that Jesus has here In Mark 14 (and parallel passages) is a “regular” meal, though He did use it to establish the new covenant!

This meal is at the beginning of Nisan 14, at sunset.

This is in the same manner that we may have a special Thanksgiving meal, yet we eat the night before.

Many have tried to explain away the simple observation of the Word.

Why is this important?
Why not be accurate?
Why not be correct?

Jesus died on Nisan 14, as foreshadowed in the Passover.
Jesus was in the heart of the earth three days and three nights, as He prophesied…


Mat 12:39-40
But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;

for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.


Three complete days.
Three complete nights.

He died on Wednesday, 3 p.m.
Taken off the cross before sunset.

Sunset - evening/morning, Thursday, Day 1
Sunset - evening/morning, Friday, Day 2
Sunset - evening/morning, Saturday, Day 3
Sunset - the Lord is resurrected, Sunday…discovered gone at daybreak.

Again, if we can not honor these truths, why should folk believe us related to anything else?
