Jesus' Ministry ended with his death at passover time. Evidence for these four passovers is found at John 2:13; 5:1; 6:4; and 13:1.
The first connection is that the synoptic gospels tell us that the Last Supper of Jesus was the Passover feast, held at the start of the Passover holiday; Jesus was crucified the next day. John's Gospel alters this, to say that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation for the Passover feast. John therefore omits the description of the Last Supper, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.The synoptic gospels draw allusions to the lamb of the Passover, beginning with the story of Pontius Pilate releasing Barabbas instead of Jesus. By having Jesus sacrificed on the day of Preparation, John's Gospel can draw even closer parallels to the Jewish Passover, with Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, which must have no bones broken (John 19:33).
As all good Jews would, Jesus would not have missed Passover.
Passover fell on a Friday when Jesus died.
Jesus was the one who started the passover. The passover was a feast that Jesus wanted to have with his disciples (followers) before his death. That's why it is also called the Last Supper.
It is a generally accepted fact that Jesus ate passover supper with his disciples.
Jesus?
Yes he did. The Last Supper was a Passover Seder.
Jesus?
Passover existed before the Last Supper, so Jesus did not institute it at the Last Supper. He was celebrating the Passover and instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
