Matthew 26:2
How appropriate is it that Jesus is to be betrayed to die at the very same time that the Jews were celebrating their deliverance from death? The Passover of course commemorates the time when the death angel passed over the homes of the Jews living in Egypt. As God poured out the last plague upon the Egyptians, the Jews deliverance from His wrath was not automatic. This is where the Passover was born. God’s specific instructions had to be followed. The blood of the slain lamb had to be put over the door of the Jewish homes. Thus, just as all of Judaism was celebrating the deliverance brought about by some sheep, Jesus was preparing for the deliverance He would supply by His own death.
