Exodus 12:15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
1Co 5:6-13 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.
Matthew 16:6,12 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.“ Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Luke 12:1 Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

John 13:10 Jesus *said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.“
John 15:1-10"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. "Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
Matthew 15:1-9 Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, "Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.“ And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? "For God said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, 'HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.' "But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God," he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. "You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

Galatians 5:6-11 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished.
Matthew 15:1-9 Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, "Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders?

Matthew 13:33 He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."
1. Origen (c. 184-253) "The leaven is the doctrine of Christ, hidden in the three measures, which are the whole of mankind, until the whole is filled with the knowledge of God."
2. Hilary of Poitiers (c. 310-367) "The Lord compared the kingdom of heaven with leaven, because the power of the kingdom, though hidden and small, would spread through the whole mass of humanity, which he signified by the three measures, namely, the sons of Noah."
3. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) "For as the leaven, being mixed with the flour, changes the whole into its own nature, so too the word of God, coming into us, transforms all things… It does not show itself openly, but works in a hidden way."
4. Jerome (c. 347-420) "The woman is the Church, the leaven is the Gospel of the kingdom, and the three measures of meal are the human race, into which the doctrine of Christ is infused until all are leavened."
5. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) "The leaven is the love of God and the grace of the Holy Spirit, which a woman, that is, the Church, hides in three measures of meal, that is, in the heart, soul, and mind… until the whole is leavened with divine charity."
6. Bede the Venerable (c. 673-735) leaven as "the doctrine of Christ, which, though small in its beginnings, spreads through the whole lump of the human race, represented by the three measures, signifying the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
7. Theophylact of Ohrid (c. 1050-1107) "The leaven is the preaching of the apostles, and the three measures of meal are the nations of the world, or the three parts of man—body, soul, and spirit—into which the kingdom’s power is mixed until all are transformed."
8. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) "The leaven signifies the word of God or His grace, which the woman, that is, the Church, hides in three measures of meal, that is, either the three parts of the world or the three faculties of man, until the whole is leavened."
9. John Calvin (1509-1564) "The leaven denotes the progress of the Gospel, which, though it seems contemptible at first, spreads far and wide… Christ here uses leaven not in its usual sense of corruption, but as an emblem of growth."
10. John Gill (1697-1771) "The leaven may be interpreted either of the Gospel, which… gradually increases until it diffuses itself through nations; or, as leaven is elsewhere used, of corrupt doctrine, though here it seems to intend the Gospel’s secret working."
11. Matthew Henry (1662-1714) "The leaven is the Gospel, the woman the ministers of it or the Church, the three measures the world or the hearts of men; it works silently and insensibly, yet strongly and irresistibly, till all be leavened."
12. Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) "The kingdom is like leaven—small, hidden, but mighty in its working; it will not cease until the whole world feels its power."
13. David Guzik (Contemporary) "Jesus used leaven to picture something that starts small but spreads… Though leaven often symbolizes evil in Scripture, here it likely represents the hidden growth of God’s kingdom."
14. John MacArthur (Contemporary) "Leaven in Scripture consistently represents evil… The parable suggests corruption entering the kingdom—a woman, often a symbol of evil influence, hides leaven in the meal, picturing false teaching spreading through the church."
15. N.T. Wright (1948-Present) "The kingdom is like leaven—ordinary, hidden, surprising… It’s about God’s new life breaking into the world in unexpected ways, not with fanfare but with quiet power."
Paul the Apostle (c. 5-67) "A little leaven leavens the whole lump,“ Gal 5:9, 1 Corinthians 5:6

Ephesians 2:19-22 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
Foundation 1 Corinthians 3:9-11
Matthew 7:24-27 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. "The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall."
1 Peter 2:5-8 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, "THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone," and, "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE"; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

Ephesians 6:12-15 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."

Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar?

Exodus 12:12-14'For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am the LORD. 'The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. 'Now this day will be a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance. Exodus 12:23"For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
1 Corinthians 11:25-34 In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.“ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.
John 3:14 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; 1 Peter 2:23-24 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. 1 Corinthians 10:9 Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.
Numbers 21:5-9 The people spoke against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food." The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and you; intercede with the LORD, that He may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live.“ And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.
John 6:51-56 "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh." Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

Darkness covers the land (Matthew, Mark, Luke). He dies.
Death and Immediate Aftermath (Matthew 27:50-56; Mark 15:37-41; Luke 23:47-49; John 19:31-37) Jesus dies; the veil tears (Matthew, Mark, Luke), an earthquake occurs (Matthew), a centurion praises God (Mark, Luke). Soldiers don’t break his legs but pierce his side, releasing blood and water (John).
Burial (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42) Jesus preaches to those “spirits in prison” 1 Peter 3:18-20, 4:6
Matthew 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life? So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

Exodus 12:17-20 'You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance. 'In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 'Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land. 'You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’”
Leviticus 23:10-11 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. 'He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Exodus 22:29 "You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
Titus 2:13-14 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
Romans 5:18-21 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Resurrection: Jesus rises on Sunday, day after Sabbath on the Feast of First Fruits; tomb found empty. This is during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. (Matthew 28:1-6, Mark 16:1-2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1)

Relevant Verses |
|
Melchizedek's Offering |
Melchizedek, a priest-king, offers bread and wine while blessing Abram, symbolizing fellowship with God. |
The bread and wine directly prefigure the Eucharistic elements. Bread represents Christ’s body, given for salvation; wine represents His blood, infused with the Holy Spirit, sealing the new covenant. Jesus, as a priest in Melchizedek’s order, fulfills this offering in the Eucharist. |
Old Testament: Genesis 14:18-20New Testament: Hebrews 7:1-17; Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 |
|
The Passover |
The Israelites sacrifice a lamb and eat unleavened bread to celebrate their deliverance from Egypt. |
Instituted during a Passover meal, the Eucharist uses bread to symbolize Christ’s body, sacrificed for humanity’s redemption, and wine to symbolize His blood, carrying the Holy Spirit’s life-giving grace as the new covenant’s seal. Jesus is the true Passover Lamb. |
Old Testament: Exodus 12:1-28; Deuteronomy 16:1-8New Testament: Matthew 26:17-19, 26-28; Mark 14:12-16, 22-24; Luke 22:7-20; John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 |
|
Manna in the Wilderness |
God provides manna, called bread from heaven, to sustain the Israelites during their desert journey. |
Manna foreshadows the Eucharist as the true bread from heaven. The Eucharistic bread symbolizes Christ’s body and the Word of God, as Christ is the incarnate Word, nourishing believers spiritually with divine truth and granting eternal life through communion with Him. |
Old Testament: Exodus 16:4-35; Numbers 11:7-9; Psalm 78:23-25; Psalm 105:40; Deuteronomy 8:3New Testament: John 6:31-35, 48-51; John 1:1, 14; 1 Corinthians 10:3; Matthew 4:4 |
|
Water from the Rock |
God miraculously provides water from a rock to quench the Israelites’ thirst in the wilderness. |
The water, called a "spiritual drink," prefigures the Eucharistic wine, which symbolizes Christ’s blood and the Holy Spirit’s life-giving presence. Christ, the spiritual rock, provides spiritual nourishment through the Eucharist, uniting believers with God. |
Old Testament: Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:1-13; Psalm 78:15-16; Psalm 105:41; Isaiah 48:21New Testament: 1 Corinthians 10:1-4; John 4:10-14; John 7:37-39; Matthew 26:27-28; 1 Peter 2:4-5; Revelation 22:1-2 |
|
The Showbread (Bread of the Presence) |
Twelve loaves of bread, placed in the Tabernacle and eaten by priests, represent God’s covenantal presence. |
The showbread prefigures the Eucharist as a sign of God’s enduring presence. The Eucharistic bread symbolizes Christ’s body, shared with all believers to unite them with God in the new covenant. |
Old Testament: Exodus 25:30; Leviticus 24:5-9; 1 Chronicles 9:32New Testament: Matthew 12:1-4; John 6:35; Hebrews 9:1-2, 15 |
|
The Vine and the Wine |
Israel is depicted as a vine or vineyard, symbolizing God’s chosen people and their fruitfulness. |
The Eucharistic wine symbolizes Christ’s blood, infused with the Holy Spirit’s life-giving presence. Jesus, as the true vine, fulfills this imagery, uniting believers as the new Israel through the Eucharist. |
Old Testament: Psalm 80:8-19; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1New Testament: John 15:1-5; Matthew 26:27-28; Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25 |
|
The Blood of the Covenant |
Moses sprinkles blood on the people to seal God’s covenant at Sinai, symbolizing their commitment to God. |
The Eucharistic wine, as Christ’s blood of the new covenant, symbolizes the Holy Spirit’s role in sealing believers in God’s promise of salvation, fulfilling the Old Covenant. |
