Last Supper article

FYI: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110418/wl_uk_afp/britainreligionchristianseaster
Taking into account the scriptures, especially Jesus saying He would be in the 'heart of the earth' for 3 days, does anything about this article correlate? I haven't had the time to look any further into this.

Doesnt Ray have paper on 3 days in the earth?

Yes, but that's not exactly related. Ray's email response more so explained what Jesus meant by 'heart of the earth'.
I think I see where this scientist may be mistaken, let me know what you all think:
Excerpt from article: "While Matthew, Mark and Luke all say the Last Supper coincided with the start of the Jewish festival of Passover, John claims it took place before Passover."
I just looked through these four books and do not see where this assertion is made. Does anyone know what this writer is referring to?

Hi Marques,
Here are the four gospel accounts and I found the references he may be talking about. The Feast of the Unleavened Bread refers to Passover as Luke 22:1 states. I won't say whether I think he's mistaken or not, but here are the references to what I think he's trying to point to.
"Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" (Matthew 26:17)
"After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread." (Mark 14:1)
"Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. 8 And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.” (Luke 22:1;7-8)
"Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end." (John 13:1)
Hope this helps.
Patrick

πρό
pro
pro
A primary preposition; “fore”, that is, in front of, prior (figuratively superior) to.
It's saying that prior to eating the feast. They assume that it meant days before. All it says is "Now BEFORE THE FEAST of the Passover..." As Ray says, pay attention to the words. :) There's no contradiction.
Note: I saw this article as a deliberate attempt to discredit Scripture.
