Mark Study Notes—Chapter 14

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 14:12
  
  on the first day of the Unleavened Bread: The Festival of Unleavened Bread began on Nisan 15, the day after the Passover (Nisan 14), and the festival lasted for seven days. (See App. B15.) By Jesus’ time, however, the Passover had become so closely connected to this festival that all eight days, including Nisan 14, were sometimes referred to as “the Festival of the Unleavened Bread.” (Lu 22:1) The day mentioned here refers to Nisan 14 because it is said to be the day when they customarily offered up the Passover sacrifice. (Ex 12:6, 15, 17, 18; Le 23:5; De 16:1-8) What is described in verses 12-16 likely took place on the afternoon of Nisan 13 in preparation for the Passover, which was celebrated “after evening had fallen” at the beginning of Nisan 14.—Mr 14:17, 18; see App. B12 and study note on Mt 26:17.
