Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
28:16-25 The Passover, followed by the Festival of Unleavened Bread, was the first of five great annual festivals; it was held in early spring (March~April). The Passover required no public sacrifices—it was a family occasion celebrated at home (see also 9:1-4; Exod 12:1–13:10; Lev 23:5-8; Deut 16:1-8). This festival played a special role in the background of the Last Supper (see Matt 26:17-19, 26-27; Mark 14:12; John 11:55; 12:1; 13:1; 18:28, 39; 19:14, 31; cp. 1 Cor 5:7).
