Why did Jesus kept the Passover with his disciples prior to the regular time for the Passover?
Mark 14:12-16: "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. "
However, the author of John's Gospel moved the date of the Passover in his account, for theological reasons. This is why John does not have a Last Supper narrative, instead merely a normal evening meal after which Jesus washed the feet of the disciples.
John 13:1-2: " Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; "
And
John 19:13-14: "When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! "
In summary, the synoptics do say that Jesus and the disciples held the Passover feast at the appropriate time and day. John's Gospel differs by saying that Jesus was crucified before the time of the Passover, but does not describe Jesus and the disciples as celebrating the Passover. There is only a disjunction when any of the synoptic gospels is read with John's Gospel.
What else can I help you with?
What Jewish holidays were Jesus and his disciples celebrating the night of his arrest?
In the synoptic gospels, Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Jewish Passover on the night of his arrest; the Last Supper was their Seder meal. In John's Gospel, Jesus was arrested on the night before the Passover, thus instead of a detailed mention of the Last Supper, we have the account of Jesus washing their feet. The gospel says that Jesus was crucified on the day prior to the Passover, and makes greater use of Passover imagery than do the other gospels.
Why were the apostles grouped together in a room after the death and resurrection of Jesus?
Jesus and the disciples returned to Jerusalem one last time together. There they may have met in the upper room where they had shared Passover and where Jesus had instituted the Lord's Supper. He told the disciples to wait until they had been clothed with power from on high, until the Holy Ghost came upon them--the gift Jesus promised just prior to His death.
Who was the tax collector of the disciples from the last supper?
Matthew was a tax collector prior to being called to follow Jesus.
Was Jesus killed on Christmas or Easter?
There is conflicting evidence in the New Testament with regard to the death of Jesus. The synoptic Gospels imply that it was after the Passover, while the Gospel of John says he was crucified just prior to the Passover and gave up his spirit approximately at the time the Passover was to be slaughtered. Therefore we can conclude that while the Gospels may disagree on an exact time for Jesus' death, it is reasonably discernible that the purpose of the Gospel writers was to emphasize the significance of Passover observance. For it is their mention of the feast where they ultimately find common ground. ----
Why was Jesus' resurrection important to disciples and followers?
Prior to the Resurrection, the disciples did not fully understand who Jesus was. After His death, none of them believed that He would live again.It was only when they saw Him bodily and had his identity confirmed that they believed. What they witnessed turned them from fearful men hiding from the Jewish authorities into bold witnesses of what they had seen and who Jesus really was. Many of them would suffer greatly for sticking to their testimony.
What Does The Last Supper Symbolize?
It's arguably true that there were no Christians before Paul of Tarsus. Everything the Bible reports Jesus to have said seems to indicate that he was acting in the context of the Judaic tradition and the messianic thread within it. Given the traditional timing of the Last Supper, we can surmise that it was actually a Passover feast and the last meal he shared with his closest disciples prior to being crucified.
How many Passovers did Jesus have in his early ministry?
A:New Testament scholars have noted that the events described in the synoptic gospels appear to have occurred in the space of less than a year and that the only time Jesus went to Jerusalem, the Passover feast was the evening prior to his crucifixion. On the other hand, John's Gospel clearly spaces the mission of Jesus over three years and in this gospel his third Passover occurred on the evening following his crucifixion.Another Answer:Others have said there were 4 Passovers from the beginning of His ministry to His Crucifixion on Passover Day (Jewish tradition had days beginning at sunset with the night portion coming first). Sir Isacc Newton was a believer in four.If His ministry began in the Autumn of His 30th year - some date this to 27 AD, then the first Passover would come about 5 months into His Ministry which lasted 3 1/2 years. He died at the 4th Passover in 31 AD as our Passover Lamb.
Where are the acts of the disciples discussed in Bible?
The Acts of the Apostles describes what they did after Jesus ascended to heaven. They were then Apostles as witnesses to all that Jesus said and did, especially the resurrection. At this time disciples was also used as the name for all the Christian believers since they were all devoted followers of Jesus (no unbelieving nominalism then). Prior to Acts, the four Gospels, although centered on Jesus, record much of what the disciples (as they were then called) did and said.
Did the Passover originate with nomadic people before the Exodus from Egypt?
It is unlikely, since Passover is a holiday that commemorates the Exodus from Egypt. Prior to the Exodus, no Spring holiday would have resembled Passover.
When do dogs get there first rabbi shot?
Prior to the year of their bar mitzvah, after sundown on Passover.
What did the disciples do when Jesus was arrested?
A:The disciples seem to have disappeared, with Peter playing a short cameo role to deny Jesus three times before his trial before the Sanhedrin. According to the synoptic gospels, not one of them was present at the crucifixion. Matthew and Mark are quite clear in that only women watched, even from afar off. Only John moves some of the women to the foot of the cross with the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and allows Jesus to make arrangements for the care of his mother. It is this interesting contrast to the role of Joseph of Arimathea that caused some scholars to notice that Arimathea could mean 'Best disciple town' in Greek, a play on words (originating in Mark's Gospel) because of the failure of the other disciples.
What was Jesus's occupation?
Prior to beginning his ministry, Jesus was a Carpenter.
