The son of David and the first day of the feast of unleavened bread


*



“13  and coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, jesus asked his disciples, saying, who do men say me to be, the son of man? 14 and they said, some [say], John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 15 he said to them, but who do you say I am? 16 and Simon Peter answered and said, you are the christ, the son of the living god. 17 jesus answered and said to him, you are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but my father in heaven. 18 and I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and [the] gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 and I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven to you. and whatever you may bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in heaven, and whatever you may loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in heaven. 20 then he warned his disciples that they should tell no one that he was jesus the christ. 21  from that time jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.” (Matthew 16:13-21 MKJV)

 “17  and going up to Jerusalem, jesus took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said to them, 18 behold, we go up to Jerusalem. and the son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death. 19 and they shall deliver him to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify. and the third day he shall rise again.” (Matthew 20:17-19 MKJV)

 “1  and when they drew near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the mount of olives, then jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, go into the village across from you. and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie [them] and bring [them] to me. 3 and if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, the lord has need of them, and immediately he will send them. 4 all this was done so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your king comes to you, meek, and sitting on an ass, even a colt the foal of an ass. 6 and the disciples went and did as jesus commanded them. 7 and they brought the ass, even the colt, and put their clothes on them, and he sat on them. 8 and a very great crowd spread their garments in the way. others cut down branches from the trees and spread [them] in the way. 9 and the crowds who went before, and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! blessed [is] he who comes in [the] name of [the] lord! Hosanna in the highest! 10 and when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, who is this? 11 and the crowd said, this is jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.” (Matthew 21:1-11 MKJV)

 “1  and it happened when jesus finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, 2 you know that after two days the passover comes, and the son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 3 then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. 4 and [they] consulted so that they might take jesus by guile and kill [him]. 5 but they said, not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar among the people.” (Matthew 26:1-5 MKJV)

 “17  and on the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened [bread], the disciples came to jesus, saying to him, where do you desire that we prepare for you to eat the passover? 18 and he said, go into the city to such a man, and say to him, the master said, my time is at hand. I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples. 19 and the disciples did as jesus had appointed them. and they made the passover ready. 20 and when evening had come, he sat down with the twelve. 21 and as they ate, he said, truly I say to you that one of you will betray me. 22 and grieving sorrowfully, they began to say, each one of them, lord, not I am [the one]? 23 and he answered and said, he who dips [his] hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 the son of man goes, as it has been written of him, but woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed! it would have been good for that man if he had not been born. 25 and answering, the [one] betraying him, Judas, said, master, not am I [the one]? he said to him, you said [it]. 26  and as they were eating, jesus took bread and blessed [it], and broke [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, take, eat, this is my body. 27 and he took the cup and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, drink all of it. 28 for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 but I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it new with you in my father’s kingdom. 30 and singing a hymn, they went out to the mount of olives. 31  then jesus said to them, all of you will be offended because of me this night. for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32 but after I have risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33 Peter answered and said to him, though all shall be offended because of you, I will never be offended. 34 jesus said to him, truly I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. 35 Peter said to him, though I should die with you, yet I will not deny you. all the disciples also said the same. 36  then jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane. and he said to the disciples, sit here while I go and pray there.” (Matthew 26:17-36 MKJV)

 “20 therefore when you come together into one place, [this] is not to eat [the] lord’s supper. 21 for in eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry, and another drunken. 22 for do you not have houses [in which] to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of god, and shame those who do not have? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you for this? I do not praise [you]! 23  for I received from the lord what I also delivered to you, that the lord jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; 24 and giving thanks, he broke [it] and said, "take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me. 25 in the same way [he took] the cup also, after supping, saying, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of me. 26 for "as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show" the lord’s death until he shall come. 27 so that whoever shall eat this bread and drink [this] cup of the lord unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the lord. 28 but let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread and drink of that cup. 29 for he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the lord’s body. 30 for this cause many among you [are] weak and sickly, and many sleep. 31 for if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 but when we are judged, we are chastened by [the] lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 so that, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34 but if anyone hungers, let him eat at home, so that you do not come together to condemnation. and the rest I will set in order when I come.” (1 Corinthians 11:20-34 MKJV)

In the gospel there is an invitation to all who believe what God has  promised, to share with Christ in his kingdom, glory, and joy, which invitation is given on certain conditions well defined (1 Thess. 2:12; ; Matt. 25:21) faith in the things covenanted to Abraham and David, and in those taught concerning Jesus, in the Old and New Testaments; immersion into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and thenceforth a life of without which no one will be approved and promoted to the honour and glory of the kingdom ().
