Passover in The New Testament
n“The Passover meal
Jesus ate with the disciples
was without the paschal lamb because
the Savior wanted to institute a new Passover
meal commemorative of His redemption
from sin through bread and wine, the
new symbols of His own body and blood soon to be offered 'for the forgiveness of sins' (Matt 26:28).”
