The Passover is not a type of the passion
For each of us first takes the sheep, then names it, then sacrifices it, and so having roasted it eats, and having eaten leaves nothing of it until morning, and then keeps the feast of unleavened bread, already having come out of Egypt (Exodus 12:3–11) (Exodus 12:14–20).
Greek
[γίνεται το]ῦ ὑφ' ἡμῶν θυ[ομένου· ἕκ]αστος γὰρ ἡμ[ῶν πρῶτον μὲν λα]μβάνει τ[ὸ πρόβατον, ἔπει]τα ἐπονομ[άζει, εἶτα θύε]ι, καὶ οὕτως [ὀπτήσας ἐσθίει] καὶ φαγὼν [ἕως πρωῒ οὐδὲν ἀ]π' αὐ[τοῦ καταλείπει, καὶ τότε ἄζυμα ἑορτάζει ἤ]δη τ[ὴ]ν [Αἴ]γυπτ[ον ἐξελη]λυθώς.
