Feast of unleavened bread observed in the Gospels and Letters
Matt. 26 [17] Now the first day of the feast
of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yeshua
/ 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.
After the Resurrection, the feast of unleavened bread was also
observed
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.

Interesting verse
Gen. 19
[1] And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in
the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed
himself with his face toward the ground;
[2] And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your
servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up
early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay;
but we will abide in the street all night.
[3] And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast,
and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

"The feast of unleavened bread”
Exod. 12

seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

day there shall be an holy
convocation, and in the seventh day there
shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of

2 Chr. 30 Hezekiah
kept the Passover
[1] And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote
letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the
LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover
unto the LORD God of Israel.
[2] For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
[3] For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not
sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves
together to Jerusalem.
[4] And the thing pleased the king and all the
congregation.
[5] So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all
Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should
come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of
Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it
was written.
[6] So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes
throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king,
saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of
the hand of the kings of Assyria.
[7] And be not ye like your fathers, and like your
brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore
gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
[8] Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were,
but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath
sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that
the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
[9] For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children
shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall
come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and
will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
[10] So the posts passed from city to city through the country of
Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they
laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
[11] Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
[12] Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the
commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
[13] And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of
unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
[14] And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and
all the altars for incense took they away, and
cast them into the brook Kidron.
[15] Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of
the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified
themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
[16] And they stood in their place after their manner, according to
the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the
blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
[17] For there were many in the congregation
that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of
the killing of the passovers for every one that was
not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
[18] For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh,
Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed
themselves, yet did they eat the passover
otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good
LORD pardon every one
[19] That prepareth his heart to seek God,
the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the
purification of the sanctuary.
[20] And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
[21] And the children of Israel that
were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with
great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day,
singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
[22] And Hezekiah spake comfortably
unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days,
offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their
fathers.
[23] And the whole assembly took
counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
[24] For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a
thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the
congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of
priests sanctified themselves.
[25] And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the
Levites, and all the congregation that came out
of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that
dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
[26] So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon
the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
[27] Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and
their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place,
even unto heaven.
---------------
2 Chr. 35 - Josiah kept the Passover
[1] Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the
passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
[2] And he set the priests in their charges, and
encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
[3] And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the
LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of
Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the
LORD your God, and his people Israel,
[4] And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses,
according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing
of Solomon his son.
[5] And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of
the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families
of the Levites.
[6] So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves,
and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD
by the hand of Moses.
[7] And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the
number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the
king's substance.
[8] And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the
Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the
priests for the passover offerings two thousand and
six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
[9] Conaniah also, and Shemaiah
and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah
and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of
the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover
offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
[10] So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the
Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
[11] And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled
the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
[12] And they removed the burnt offerings, that
they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to
offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
[13] And they roasted the passover with fire according to the
ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and
in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
[14] And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because
the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in
offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites
prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
[15] And the singers the sons of Asaph were in
their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph,
and Heman, and Jeduthun the
king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from
their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
[16] So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of
the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
[17] And the children of Israel that
were present kept the passover at that time, and the
feast of unleavened bread seven days.
[18] And there was no passover
like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did
all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as
Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and
Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[19] In the eighteenth year of the
reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
[20] After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho
king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went
out against him.
[21] But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What
have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day,
but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste:
forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy
thee not.
[22] Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised
himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the
valley of Megiddo.
[23] And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants,
Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
[24] His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the
second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and
was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all
Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
[25] And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all
the singing men and the singing women spake
of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in
Israel: and, behold, they are written in the
lamentations.
[26] Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that
which was written in the law of the LORD,
[27] And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah.

Ezra 6
[14] And the elders of the Jews builded,
and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah
the son of Iddo. And they builded,
and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and
according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes
king of Persia.
[15] And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar,
which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
[16] And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the
rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God
with joy,
[17] And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred
bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all
Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
[18] And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in
their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written
in the book of Moses.
[19] And the children of the captivity kept the passover
upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
[20] For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them
were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of
the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
[21] And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity,
and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the
heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
[22] And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
---------------
Ezek. 45
[18] Thus saith
the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse
the sanctuary:
[19] And the priest shall take of the
blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the
four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner
court.
[20] And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the
month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple:
so shall ye reconcile the house.
[21] In the first month, in the
fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover,
a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
[22] And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and
for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
[23] And seven days
of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and
seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily
for a sin offering.
