“As you read the New Testament and reflect on the crucifixion you’ll now know why Our Lord had to die......between the evenings........3:00 P.M. on the 14th of the first month [Leviticus 23:5].”

In reference to your statement of chronology; did Jesus and the disciples eat ‘unleavened bread’ at the last supper setting the night before the crucifixion?

The Last Supper was not a Passover Seder. Unleavened bread was not required. [John 13:29] reveals that the meal had already concluded when Judas left.....ostensibly to buy things needed for the feast which would follow the next day. Paul, who was not at the Last Supper, but was nevertheless a very observant Jew says in [I Corinthians 11:25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. "Supped": 1172. deipneo (dipe-neh'-o) to dine, i.e. take the principle (or evening) meal sup (X -er) If it would have been a Seder......Paul would not have called it a supper.

The Greek term used in all the gospel verses for the bread that was consumed show it to be regular bread....not unleavened. In Greek the word for unleavened is "AZUMOS"/AZUMON/AZUMA" or some variant thereof. The Greek for regular bread is "ARTOS or ARTON". "PSOMI" is modern Greek for regular bread and EPIOUSIOS" is daily bread.

If you look at the Septuagint [Exodus 12:18] it shows unleavened bread being eaten on the 14th of the first month at the beginning of the Feast: enarcomenou th tessareskaidekath hmera tou mhnos tou prwtou af¢ esperas edesqe azuma ews hmeras mias kai eikados tou mhnos ews esperas

[Exodus 23:15] thn eorthn twn azumwn fulaxasqe poiein epta hmeras edesqe azuma kaqaper eneteilamhn soi kata ton kairon tou mhnos twn newn en gar autw exhlqes ex aiguptou ouk ofqhsh enwpion mou kenos (this is the Feast of Unleavened Bread)

[Leviticus 23:6] also refers to The Feast of Unleavened Bread: kai en th pentekaidekath hmera tou mhnos toutou eorth twn azumwn tw kuriw epta hmeras azuma edesqe

[Leviticus 23:17] refers to regular bread being prepared for Shavuot (Pentecost): apo ths katoikias umwn prosoisete artous epiqema duo artous ek duo dekatwn semidalews esontai ezumwmenoi pefqhsontai prwtogenhmatwn tw kuriw

The Hebrew texts show the words to be Matzot/Matzah for unleavened and Lekhem/Lekhemim for regular bread.

[John 18:28][John 19:14][John 19:31][John 19:42] all verify that this was only the Day of Preparation and the Feast would not begin until Our Savior would be crucified, killed and entombed. At sundown of the 14th the Feast would begin. The Last Supper took place after the sundown of the 13th.
