Earlier, I was researching the dates early Christians celebrated Pascha/Easter, and some apparently observed it two days after Passover, on Nisan 16. I was looking to see if the scriptures gives the exact time, came across the verse in Matthew, and oops, I have a tendency to read right to left instead of left to right. I don't why, but I usually read things twice and catch myself the second time.



I'm still puzzled though, the last supper is the Passover, right?
