Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to the Lord.

And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.

And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the Passover to the Lord.

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a disturbance take place among the people."

Then He charged them, saying, "Look out, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
