| Was the bread Jesus ate at the Last Supper matzah or normal yeast-raised bread? |
"I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer," says Jesus in Luke's account of his final twenty-four hours (Luke 22:15).
Of course he would want to share the Passover meal again before he died.
Events overtook him. We don't know whether the Last Supper Jesus ate was indeed a Passover celebration or whether it was just a party before he was arrested and executed.
Experts disagree on whether the meal was a Seder:

But one thing we do know: Jesus really wanted to share that holiday with his disciples, the way a child wants to celebrate Christmas.
Jesus was fully human in that regard. He was a ben-adam -- a human.
