And, no, it is clear from the OT, that the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 14th and ends on the 21st, and that is a quote, not an inference.

I'm mystified why you argue with this:

Lev 23:5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.
Lev 23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

It's not just me on this. Matthew Henrys commentary says about Passover:

"This was to be annually observed as a feast of the Lord in their generations, to which the feast of unleavened bread was annexed, during which, for seven days, they were to eat no bread but what was unleavened, in remembrance of their being confined to such bread, of necessity, for many days after they came out of Egypt"

And you are dead wrong to state that the Passover Meal was NOT eaten the NIGHT of the Passover, which would be immediately after 6pm Nisan 14,

I did not say that. I said the lamb was killed after sunset, at the beginning of Nisan 14. They had ALL night to cook and eat it:

Exo 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.
Exo 12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

As far as how hungry they were, God made sure that each family didn't have to hork down an entire lamb:

Exo 12:4 And if the household is too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take according to the number of the souls, each one, according to the eating of his mouth, you shall count concerning the lamb.

Many families might eat one lamb, depending on the family size.

it was, the Lamb had to be killed imediately before on the 13th, the day of preparation, in order for it to be eaten.

Okay, my evidence that the lamb was killed on the 14th, not the 13th is this:

Deu 16:6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

Exo 12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

These are two verses that clearly indicate that the lambs were killed on the 14th, at sunset (the beginning of the 14th).

Now as far as I can see, your evidence that they were slain on the 13th is because you deduced that. Yet the bible does not say that anywhere. It clearly says the 14th. Passover is focused on the 14th.

Thanks for your input, but it appears you are making your doctrine tell you what the Bible says, instead of letting the Bible tell you what your doctrine should be.

lol...I feel the same way about you! I'm showing you what are irrefutable facts and you seem to not want to hear them.

You have a deaf ear to Scripture.

We know that Jesus was buried on a Friday because the Jews asked Pilate that they might be killed and taken away “to
prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath” (Jn 19:31) - just curious and wondering how this would fit in with Jesus Christ crucified on a Wednesday?
