This selection highlights their leadership roles among the Twelve Apostles. Peter, often seen as the spokesperson for the group, and John, known for his close relationship with Jesus, are entrusted with significant responsibilities. This act of sending them also reflects the practice of delegating tasks to trusted individuals, a common leadership strategy in both ancient and modern contexts. The choice of these two disciples underscores their importance in the early church, as seen in the Book of Acts where they play pivotal roles in spreading the Gospel.saying, “Go and make preparations The directive to "make preparations" indicates the need for careful planning and attention to detail, especially for an event as significant as the Passover. This preparation would involve securing a location, gathering necessary items such as unleavened bread, wine, and bitter herbs, and ensuring everything was in accordance with Jewish law. The act of preparation also symbolizes spiritual readiness, a theme prevalent throughout the Gospels, where Jesus often emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the coming of God's kingdom.for us to eat the Passover.” The Passover is a central Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt, as described in <a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12</a>. It involves a ritual meal known as the Seder, which includes specific foods and recitations. By participating in the Passover, Jesus aligns Himself with Jewish tradition and law, fulfilling His role as the Messiah who came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>). This particular Passover meal, often referred to as the Last Supper, holds additional significance as it becomes the setting for the institution of the Lord's Supper or Communion, a sacrament observed by Christians to remember Jesus' sacrifice. The Passover also serves as a type of Christ, with the sacrificial lamb symbolizing Jesus, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is preparing for the Passover meal with His disciples.

The three synoptists unite in describing this solemn meal, for which Peter and John were sent to prepare, as the ordinary Paschal Supper. But, on comparing the record of the same Supper given by St. John, we are irresistibly led to a different conclusion; for we read that on the following day those who led Jesus into the Praetorium went not in themselves, "lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the Passover" (<a href="/john/18-28.htm">John 18:28</a>); and again it is said of the same day, that "it was the preparation of the Passover" (<a href="/john/19-14.htm">John 19:14</a>). So the time of the Supper is described by St. John (<a href="/john/13-1.htm">John 13:1</a>) as "before the Feast of the Passover." It appears that our Lord was crucified on the 14th of Nisan, on the very day of the sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb, a few hours before the time of the Paschal Supper, and that his own Last Supper was eaten the night before, that is, twenty-four hours before the general time of eating the Passover Supper. The most venerable of the Fathers preserved this as a sacred tradition. So Justin Martyr: "On the day of the Passover ye took him, and om the day of the Passover ye crucified him" ('Dial. cum Trypho,' ch. 3.). To the same effect write Irenaeus ('Adv. Haer.,' 4:23) and Tertullian ('Adv. Judaeos,' ch. 8). Clement of Alexandria is most definite: "The Lord did not cat his last Passover on the legal day of the Passover, but on the previous day, the 13th, and suffered on the day following, being himself the Passover" (Fragment from 'Chron. Paschal.,' p. 14, edit. Dindorf). Hippolytus of Portus bears similar testimony. The question - as to whether the famous Last Supper was the actual Passover Supper, or the anticipatory Paschal Feast, which we believe it to have been - is important; for thus the language of St. Paul (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>), "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us," is justified. "The apostle regarded not the Last Supper, but the death of Christ, as the antitype of the Paschal sacrifice, and the correspondence of type and antitype would be incomplete unless the sacrifice of the Redeemer took place at the time on which alone that of the Paschal lamb could legally be offered" (Dean Mansel). <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[Jesus] sent ἀπέστειλεν (apesteilen) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_649.htm">Strong's 649: </a> From apo and stello; set apart, i.e. to send out literally or figuratively.
