Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The disciples prepare 'on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover,' directly enacting Exodus 12's prescription that the lamb be killed at twilight on the appointed day. The volume is high and the coherence total as Mark stages the Last Supper as a Passover meal, drawing the institution narrative into the Passion frame.
High confidence◇ Figural2
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
The command that 'the whole assembly of Israel shall kill it' (the lamb) at twilight underlies 'Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.' Coherent with Paul's communal frame; the slaying of the paschal victim is the figural type fulfilled.
High confidenceThe handing over at the Preparation of Passover, 'about the sixth hour,' coincides with the time the Passover lambs began to be slain; John times the sentence to the lamb-slaughter. High coherence with John's lamb Christology (1:29) and the unbroken-bones citation later.
