Luke 22:1 f. The Decision of the Chief Priests (Mark 14:1 f.*, Matthew 26:1-5 *).

Luke 22:1. The feast of unleavened bread (Nisan 15- 21) was really distinct from the Passover (Nisan 14), though the close association of the two led them to be spoken of as one, and even identified by Gentiles like Luke. Cf. p. 103.

Luke 22:1-2

1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
