Passover
Messiah our Passover
Matt 26 [2] Ye know
that after two days is the feast of the passover,
and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
[17] Now the
first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying
unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
[18] And he
said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My
time is at hand; I will keep the passover at
thy house with my disciples.
[19] And the
disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
Mark 14 [1] After
two days was the feast of the passover, and of
unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how
they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
[12] 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?
[14] 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?
[16] And his
disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto
them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke 2 [41] Now his
parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast
of the passover.
Luke 22 [1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the passover.
[7] Then
came the day of unleavened bread, when
the passover must be killed.
[8] And he
sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover,
that we may eat.
[11] And ye
shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is
the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover
with my disciples?
[13] And
they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
[15] And he
said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
John 2 [13] And the
Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus
went up to Jerusalem,
[23] Now
when he was in Jerusalem at the passover,
in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which
he did.
John 6 [4] And the
passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John 11 [55] And the
Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and
many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
John 12 [1] Then
Jesus six days before the passover came
to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the
dead.
John 13 [1] 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.
John 18 [28] Then
led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and
they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled;
but that they might eat the passover.
[39] But ye
have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto
you the King of the Jews?
John 19 [14] And it
was the preparation of the passover, and
about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
1 Cor. 5 [7] Purge
out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened.
For even Messiah / Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Heb. 11 [28] Through
faith he kept the passover, and the
sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

Feast of unleavened bread
Matt. 26 [17] Now the
first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for
thee to eat the passover?
Mark 14 [1] After
two days was the feast of the passover,
and of unleavened bread: and the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to
death.
[12] 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?
Luke 22 [1] Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover.
[7] Then
came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover
must be killed.
Acts 12 [3] And
because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Acts 20 [6] And we
sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode
seven days.
1 Cor. 5 [7] Purge
out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened. For even Messiah / Christ our
passover is sacrificed for us:
[8]
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with
old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.

Firstfruits
Messiah the firstfruits
Rom. 8 [23] And not
only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Rom. 16 [5] Likewise
greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who
is the firstfruits of Achaia unto
Christ.
1 Cor. 15 [20] But now
is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits
of them that slept.
[23] But
every man in his own order: Messiah / Christ the
firstfruits; afterward they that are Messiah / Christ's at his
coming.
1 Cor. 16 [15] I
beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have
addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
Jas. 1 [18] Of his
own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Rev. 14 [4] These
are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are
they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from
among men, being the firstfruits unto
God and to the Lamb.

Feasts of weeks - Pentecost
Acts 2 [1] And when
the day of Pentecost was fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 20 [16] For
Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in
Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
1 Cor. 16 [8] But I
will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
