Luke 22:1
“Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.”
What does Luke 22:1 mean?
The Jewish people were preparing for their most significant annual celebration, when they remembered God's rescue of their ancestors from slavery in Egypt centuries before. This was the setting in which Jesus would share his final meal with his disciples and face the events that would change everything. Luke mentions it here to help us understand the timing and the weight of what was about to unfold, since Passover held deep spiritual meaning for every Jewish family.
