Matthew 26:17 before or on
#6
"on the fore day of Phatiyre" means on the day before the feast of unleavened bread.

Think about it. If it was the 1st day of Phatiyre, then that would have to be the 15th day of the 1st month on the Jews calendar.

The passage is speaking of their desire to go an prepare to eat the Passover with Jesus. Which is to take place on the 14th day of the 1st month.

So, they would be a day late in eating the Passover, which took place the day before Phatiyre.

Rendering it "The first day of unleavened bread" causes problems. Rendering it "The fore day of the feast of Unleavened Bread." The problems are not there. 

This is a problem I have long perplexed over and until you brought it up had not thought there could be an answer to the problem.
