Desperately Seeking Errors

Well, it is quite clear that the Last Supper in Matthew was the Passover, whether a lamb was mentioned or not:

Matthew 26:18

He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’”

Matthew 26:19

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover meal.

And Mark agrees:

Mark 14:12

The Passover with the Disciples

On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover ?”

Mark 14:14

and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks, Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’

Mark 14:16

So the disciples set out and went to the city, and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.

I could quote Luke, too, but that would be piling on.

Yet John makes it clear Jesus was in custody before the Passover meal. It looks to me like John was making that point intentionally, with three references, like he had read the synoptic gospels and was seeking to correct the error.

There is no error. Jesus kept the Passover, with lamb of course, 24 hours before the Jews’ Passover. He authoritatively played fast and lose with scripture all the time. He then went on to fulfil, to be, the Passover. On the preparation day of the Passover, being slaughtered while the lambs were being slaughtered all day. His blood was on the door posts and lintels of of the world.
