Explicit type · 1 Corinthians 5:7
Go to 1 Corinthians 5:7Paul calls the Messiah “our Passover lamb,” sacrificed, with the word that in Exodus 12:21 designates the Passover animal. In the same verse he speaks of removing the old leaven.
The biblical author himself makes the connection, in these words:
τὸ πάσχα ἡμῶν ἐτύθη Χριστός “our Passover lamb also has been sacrificed: the Messiah” (1 Corinthians 5:7)
