are other passages like in Ezekiel 45 and
verse 21 where we find the Passover is
identified with and interrelated with the
Feast of Unleavened Bread. Now, notice
what it says in verse 3: “And because he saw
it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to
take Peter also. (Then were the days of
unleavened bread.)” In other words, included
in the Passover, you've got the Days of
Unleavened Bread. So in this passage —
and, again, I'm going to call it the holy week
— we're talking about seven or eight days
that are a very special time for the Jews, and
now Christians have been saved and they're
recognizing Christ as being their Passover
and that He was raised on the third day.
