Elder Greco,
Thank you very much for that exegesis! I had not heard of that defense for the use of leavened bread before.
The verses you site for azumos(n) mainly refer the feast celebration and not the bread itself. In Corinthians 5 it is used to indicate the prefferd state of the church when the old yeast of immorality (sexual) is removed. I don't see how this makes the case that the bread Jesus broke was specifically leavened bread. There is also the question of why such bread was at the Passover table in this instance?
Is there any commentary or other published writing that covers this view in more depth?
Thanks,
Rob
