Could Jesus have eaten the Passover lamb at the Last Supper?
No, Jesus could not have eaten the Passover lamb at the Last Supper. The Passover lamb would not have been killed until the next afternoon and eaten later that afternoon. Therefore, the Last Supper was not the Passover; it was simply the final meal He enjoyed with His disciples.
Les teaches that, contrary to what most people think, the Last Supper was not the Passover Lamb. The Passover Lamb would not have been killed until the next afternoon and then eaten later in the afternoon. So there was no way Jesus could have eaten of the Passover Lamb. It was simply the Last Supper that He had enjoyed with His disciples. It was not the Passover, and Les wants to get that straight. This follows the context where Judas comes to betray Him after the Last Supper, and Jesus responds with a question, knowing fully what Judas was doing.
