Exodus 5:1-21:
Moses and Aaron go to Pharaoh and request that he let the Israelites go to hold a festival in the wilderness to worship God. Pharaoh refuses, claiming he does not know the Lord and will not let Israel go. Instead, he accuses the Israelites of laziness and orders that they be given no more straw to make bricks, yet they must still meet the same production quotas. This results in the overseers and the Israelite workers being beaten for not meeting the brick-making quotas. The Israelite foremen complain to Pharaoh and then to Moses and Aaron, blaming them for worsening their situation and putting a sword in Pharaoh's hand to kill them.

Psalm 58:6-11:
In these verses, David calls for God to punish the wicked. He prays for the teeth of the wicked to be broken and for them to vanish like water that flows away. He invokes vivid images of swift justice, wishing for the wicked to be swept away like a miscarriage that never sees the sun. David anticipates righteous rejoicing when vengeance is executed, affirming that there is indeed a reward for the righteous, demonstrating that there is a God who judges on earth.

Proverbs 24:23-25:
These proverbs warn against showing partiality in judging. The sayings emphasize that it is not good to favor the guilty or to deprive the innocent of justice, as those who do so will be cursed by nations and denounced by peoples. Conversely, those who rebuke the guilty will gain favor and a good blessing will come upon them, highlighting the value of fairness and integrity in judgments.

Matthew 26:17-20:
On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples ask Jesus where he would like to prepare for the Passover meal. Jesus instructs them to go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher's time is near, and he will keep the Passover at his house with his disciples. The disciples do as Jesus directs, and they prepare the Passover. In the evening, Jesus sits down to eat with the twelve disciples.

Mark 14:12-17:
Similar to Matthew's account, on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, the disciples ask Jesus where to go and prepare for the Passover meal. Jesus sends two of his disciples into the city, instructing them to follow a man carrying a jar of water. They are to say to the owner of the house he enters that the Teacher asks where is his guest room where he may eat the Passover with his disciples. They prepare the meal in the room upstairs as instructed, and in the evening, Jesus arrives with the Twelve to eat.

Luke 22:7-18:
The day of Unleavened Bread arrives, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed. Jesus sends Peter and John ahead to prepare the Passover meal. They ask Him where to prepare it, and He gives them detailed instructions similar to Mark's account, involving following a man carrying a jar of water to a house with a suitable room. They prepare the meal, and when the hour comes, Jesus sits at the table with His apostles. He tells them that he has eagerly desired to eat this Passover with them before He suffers and that He will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.
