Daniel's Literal Translation and Commentary
The Renewed Covenant by Daniel Gregg
"Mark 14:12 And in connection to the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples said unto him, "Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?" (DLT: torahtimes.org).
in connection to: The subject of the 15th of Nisan is introduced by Mark. It was not actually the first day of unleavened bread when the questions were asked. To be reasonable it was the afternoon of the 13th of Nisan. As was proper they were making arrangements before the event. The Greek expresses the words in connection to with the dative case, often translated "to" or "for", however, in view of the fact that the dative represents a ל in Hebrew and Aramaic, the sense of the text is pertaining to or with respect to in those languages.
