Death Plot and Anointing

Now the Passover and Festival of Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest Him covertly and kill Him;

The Last Passover

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

But He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, the one who dips bread with Me in the bowl.

The Lord’s Supper

While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.”

And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”

how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”

For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

And He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics.

Give us each day our daily bread.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

It happened that when He went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

Now when one of those who were reclining at the table with Him heard this, he said to Him, “Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”

But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired laborers have more than enough bread, but I am dying here from hunger!

Preparing the Passover

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.

Now the first day of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

And it came about, when He had reclined at the table with them, that He took the bread and blessed it, and He broke it and began giving it to them.

They began to relate their experiences on the road, and how He was recognized by them at the breaking of the bread.

So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?”

Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just a little!”

Other small boats came from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.”

Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
