Exodus 12:6-20
You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight.They must take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses where they eat them.They are to eat the meat that night; they should eat it, roasted over the fire along with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.Do not eat any of it raw or cooked in boiling water, but only roasted over fire— its head as well as its legs and inner organs.You must not leave any of it until morning; any part of it left until morning you must burn.Here is how you must eat it: You must be dressed for travel, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in a hurry; it is the LORD’s Passover.“ I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and strike every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, both people and animals. I am the LORD; I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt.The blood on the houses where you are staying will be a distinguishing mark for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will be among you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.“ This day is to be a memorial for you, and you must celebrate it as a festival to the LORD. You are to celebrate it throughout your generations as a permanent statute.You must eat unleavened bread for seven days. On the first day you must remove yeast from your houses. Whoever eats what is leavened from the first day through the seventh day must be cut off from Israel.You are to hold a sacred assembly on the first day and another sacred assembly on the seventh day. No work may be done on those days except for preparing what people need to eat— you may do only that.“ You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread because on this very day I brought your military divisions out of the land of Egypt. You must observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent statute.You are to eat unleavened bread in the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day of the month until the evening of the twenty-first day.Yeast must not be found in your houses for seven days. If anyone eats something leavened, that person, whether a resident alien or native of the land, must be cut off from the community of Israel.Do not eat anything leavened; eat unleavened bread in all your homes.”

Deuteronomy 16:1-8
“ Set aside the month of Abib and observe the Passover to the LORD your God, because the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night in the month of Abib.Sacrifice to the LORD your God a Passover animal from the herd or flock in the place where the LORD chooses to have his name dwell.Do not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of hardship— because you left the land of Egypt in a hurry— so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.No yeast is to be found anywhere in your territory for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day is to remain until morning.You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns the LORD your God is giving you.Sacrifice the Passover animal only at the place where the LORD your God chooses to have his name dwell. Do this in the evening as the sun sets at the same time of day you departed from Egypt.You are to cook and eat it in the place the LORD your God chooses, and you are to return to your tents in the morning.Eat unleavened bread for six days. On the seventh day there is to be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God; do not do any work.

Psalms 2:1-5
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his Anointed One:“ Let’s tear off their chains and throw their ropes off of us.”The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.Then he speaks to them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath:

Acts 4:25-28
You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David your servant: Why do the Gentiles rage and the peoples plot futile things?The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers assemble together against the Lord and against his Messiah.“ For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,to do whatever your hand and your will had predestined to take place.

Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the scheming of wicked people, from the mob of evildoers,who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,shooting from concealed places at the blameless. They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.They adopt an evil plan; they talk about hiding traps and say,“ Who will see them?”They devise crimes and say,“ We have perfected a secret plan.” The inner man and the heart are mysterious.

John 11:53-57
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and he stayed there with the disciples.Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country to purify themselves before the Passover.They were looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple,“ What do you think? He won’t come to the festival, will he?”The chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it so that they could arrest him.

Your animals are to be unblemished.The grain offering with them is to be of fine flour mixed with oil; offer six quarts with each bull and four quarts with the ram.Offer two quarts with each of the seven lambsand one male goat for a sin offering to make atonement for yourselves.Offer these with the morning burnt offering that is part of the regular burnt offering.You are to offer the same food each day for seven days as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is to be offered with its drink offering and the regular burnt offering.On the seventh day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any daily work.
