The Bible says at Luke 22:7 that Jesus sent his disciples out on the day the lambs were sacrificed. Everybody knows the lambs were sacrificed on Nisan 14th. So why are you saying Jesus sent his disciples out the day before on Nisan 13th?

See my problem. Can you help me resolve this?

Thanks. And thanks for admitting that you hadn't really seen this problem before. It means that we might both learn something.

Cheers,

B-MAN I THINK I SEE YOUR PROBLEM.
First of all, the Bible says nothing of the lambs being killed by the Temple Priest. This was not a sin sacrifice or offering The Passover was a commemoration of Israel leaving Egypt. Each family was commanded to prepare their own passover Lamb or Goat.Ex 12.
Now, you see a problem with the Disciples going on Nisan 13th to prepare the Passover? What you're failing to recognize is plain Bible language. Forget what ORTHODOX, CATHOLIC, OR even BUDWEISER JEWS did or said, and focus on what actually happened the day of Jesus' murder. Regardless of what Josephus, Phineas, or other historians say, we have EYE witnesses accounts of these events..
The BIBLE makes it plain that days for the Israelites and Jews were to begin at sundown and end at sundown. This system of observance was still in effect at the time of Jesus, and is still observed by Jews today. Especially in their Sabbath observance.
Now, armed with EYE witnesses accounts, we see the disciples going on the 13th of Nisan to prepare the Passover as Jesus told them, and Luke tells us that Jesus and the 12 were together that evening in the Upper Room of the mystery persons house to celebrate the meal, which was observed on the evening of the 14th. If they had gone out to prepare the Passover on the 14th, then that evening would have been the 15th you see, because of their evening to evening day. What happened after that is an unbroken chain of events that we have the account for.
GRANTED, The Jews might possibly have had a ritual that was a deviant from the original law of the Passover by slaughtering the lambs or goats early in the day. It seems as time went on there were many rituals that lost their original fervor. Jesus and his disciples deviated from the original ritual also by leaving where they were and going outside that night Ex 12:22. Jesus made it plain that the spirit of the law was its crux and not the letter.

Any comments???
