Hi Andrea,
The argument you mention seems to be a weak one.
Celebration of the Passover consisted of maybe three things:
- Purging the leaven
- Sacrificing a lamb, and
- Eating the Passover meal.
The first was probably done by the wives.
The second was done by the priests
on duty, not necessarily all the leaders of the Jews (though it also required
selecting a lamb, but that could be done ahead of time, and could readily
be bought from a merchant or again, even by the wives).
The third was done
at a specific time, at night, and again the women likely would have prepared
it. Besides, Jesus was busy with his own Passover meal. If the Jews wanted
to try Jesus badly enough, they could have done it.
What you have here is a bunch of vague, unproven innuendo that doesn't
mean anything substantial.
- So what if it was unlikely anyway?
That doesn't mean it was impossible; all it means is that by one person's
logic, it would seem not to make the most sense. That doesn't prove anything.
