THE PALM SUNDAY BEFORE PASSOVER —————->
DONKEY RIDE
This is the exact copy of the 2,000 years before any 0 A.D. date, the Egyptian myth of Set riding into the city in triumph. No man and even “god in the flesh” can ride an ass and her foal at the same time.
TWO, A DONKEY AND A COLT
The donkey ride into Jerusalem: Jesus rode both a donkey and a colt.
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. Matt 21:5-7
ONLY THE COLT
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. Mark 11:7
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. Luke 19:35
A YOUNG ASS
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, John 12:14
Where is it written???????????????????
DONKEY – WHO FOUND IT?
JESUS
Jesus “found” the animal himself;
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, John 12:14
DISCIPLES
the others say the disciples found it according to Jesus’ instructions.
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him. Mark 11:2-4
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. Luke 19:30-32
Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. Matt 21:2
————-PASSOVER TIMELINE —————————————->
MORNING BEFORE PASSOVER
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. John 18:28
NOON BEFORE PASSOVER
14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
– John 19:14

– Mark 14:12
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

BEFORE PASSOVER
29 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. John 13:29
CRUCIFIED BEFORE PASSOVER MEAL!
C. THE NINETH HOUR, 3 PM
34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). Mark 15:33
31 Now it was the day of Preparation [Day before Passover], and the next day was to be a special Sabbath [High Holiday falls on Saturday]. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. John 19:31
CRUCIFIED BEFORE PASSOVER MEAL!
41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.
42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation [Day before Passover] and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. – John 19:41-42
“EVENING MEAL IN PROGRESS”
2 The evening meal was in progress [Passover], and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
John 13:2
DURING PASSOVER MEAL (WAIT, WASN’T JESUS DEAD THEN?)
14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating [Passover], he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
Mark 14:14
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.
Mark 14:22-24

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.

28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matt 26:26-27
JESUS AT PASSOVER MEAL VERIFIED BY LUKE
14 When the hour came [Sunset], he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; Luke 22:14
AFTER PASSOVER MEAL
27 And after the sop [Passover] Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. John 13:27
AFTER THE MEAL … TO GETHSEMANE TO PRAY
26 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Matthew 26:26-30
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. Matthew 26:36
JESUS ARRESTED
47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Matthew 26:47
OFF TO SEE CAIAPHAS THE HIGH PRIEST
57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. Matthew 26:57
AFTER CAIAPHAS … TO SEE THE GOVERNOR PILATE
1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor. Matthew 27:1-2
11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. Matthew 27:11
TURNED OVER AFTER JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED
A AT 9 AM, THE THIRD HOUR
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. Mark 15:25 NIV
B AFTER 12 NOON, THE SIXTH HOUR
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour; and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your king. . . . Shall I crucify your king? John 19:14, 15
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. Matthew 27:45-50
