The Passover is a time of remembrance and sacrifice, which foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus as the Lamb of God (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The mention of "two days away" indicates the urgency and imminence of the events to unfold, highlighting Jesus' awareness of the divine timeline. The Passover setting underscores the connection between the Old Covenant sacrifices and the New Covenant established through Jesus' death.and the Son of Man The title "Son of Man" is a messianic term rooted in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where it describes a figure with authority and dominion. Jesus frequently uses this title to refer to Himself, emphasizing both His humanity and His divine mission. It reflects His role as the representative of humanity and the fulfillment of messianic prophecy. This title also connects to the suffering servant motif in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, where the Messiah is depicted as one who suffers for the sins of others.will be handed over This phrase indicates the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, which fulfills the prophecies of the suffering servant (<a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7-9</a>) and the righteous one being delivered into the hands of sinners (<a href="/psalms/41-9.htm">Psalm 41:9</a>). The passive construction "will be handed over" suggests divine sovereignty in the unfolding events, as Jesus willingly submits to the Father's plan (<a href="/john/10-18.htm">John 10:18</a>).

The lambs were slain during the first evening of the 14th of Nisan, and were eaten within twelve hours. The word Pascha is the Greek form of the Hebrew Pasach, denoting "the passing over" of the destroying angel, when he destroyed the Egyptians, but left untouched the houses of the Israelites, on whose door posts was sprinkled the blood of the lamb (<a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12</a>.). Etymologically, it has nothing to do with πόσχω, and the Latin patior, passio, etc, though pious writers have seen a providential arrangement in the apparent similarity of the words (see the possible paronomasia in <a href="/luke/22-15.htm">Luke 22:15</a>).
