Thematic Bible: Jesus crucified at the time of


Thematic Bible



Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

“You know that the Passover takes place after two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”

After two days it was the Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a treacherous way to arrest and kill Him. "Not during the festival," they said, "or there may be rioting among the people."
