New Testament

Exodus 12:5-11 New English Translation (NET)

5. Your lamb must be perfect, a male, one year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

6. You must care for it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then the whole community of Israel will kill it around sundown.

7. They will take some of the blood and put it on the two side posts and top of the doorframe of the houses where they will eat it.

8. They will eat the meat the same night; they will eat it roasted over the fire with bread made without yeast and with bitter herbs.

9. Do not eat it raw or boiled in water, but roast it over the fire with its head, its legs, and its entrails.

10. You must leave nothing until morning, but you must burn with fire whatever remains of it until morning.

11. This is how you are to eat it – dressed to travel, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. You are to eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
