In the synpotics, it seems to suggest that Jesus ate the Passover meal, while in John, he could not. Although inferred in the synpotics, an argument can be made that he never did. But there lies another problem. Before I can get to that issue, I need to clarify that Jesus could not have eaten the Passover meal.
JOHN 13 1It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.
Its now before the Passover feast...
JOHN 13:21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me. 26 . . . It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly." 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things we need for the Feast," or that he should give something to the poor. 30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night. (NKJV)
This could not be the Passover meal, since instructions are given to Judas to buy items for the Passover, which is the feast.
JOHN 18:28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
This verse states those leading Jesus, in the morning were to still eat the Passover, which was an evening meal.
The issue I am addressing tends to get very convoluted, so I want to make sure everyone is one the same page.
Is anyone in disgreement that Jesus could not have eaten the Passover meal in John? That Jesus was killed on the Passover?
Thanks.
