Exegesis
The temporal setting is given by the dative phrase tē prōtē hēmera tōn azymōn {τῇ πρώτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν ἀζύμων | tē̂ prṓtē hēmérāi tō̂n azýmōn}, a dative of time specifying “on the first day of Unleavened Bread,” with the genitive tōn azymōn forming a partitive or descriptive genitive, denoting the festival characterized by unleavened bread.
In context — Mark 14:12
And on the first day of Unleavened Bread , when they were sacrificing the Passover, His disciples said to Him , “Where do You desire that, after we go, we should prepare so that You may eat the Passover?”
