Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

Then on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house.

And his disciples did as Jesus commanded them; and they made ready the passover.

Go then, and learn what is said, "I require mercy and not sacrifice:" for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

But if ye had known what that meant, I desire mercy and not sacrifice; ye would not have condemned the innocent.
