Commentaries on Matthew 26:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2The passover - A feast instituted in Egypt, to commemorate the destroying angel's passing over the houses of the Israelites, when he slew the firstborn of the Egyptians.

This feast began on the fourteenth day of the first moon, in the first month, Nisan, and it lasted only one day; but it was immediately followed by the days of unleavened bread, which were seven, so…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2After two days is - the feast of the Passover. See the notes at Matthew 12:1-8.

It was celebrated seven days, namely, from the 15th to the 21st of the month Abib or Nisan (April), Exodus 12:15-20; Exodus 23:15. During all…Read the comment
