Luke 22:8

Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover: The lamb was roasted and eaten with bitter herbs and unleavened bread at the Passover meal (Exodus 12:8; Numbers 9:11–12; Deuteronomy 16:3). The bitter herbs represented the bitterness of the Israelites’ slavery in Egypt, and the unleavened bread reminded them of their hurried departure from Egypt.
