Correct!
Yes, you can use the computer but… it’s nice if you give the Bible chapter and verse where the answer is in the Bible… just incase anyone is curious and wants to read it…
Leviticus 23:1-2
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

If you begin with Nisan 1 as the first day of the year
1. Passover
2. Unleavened bread (1st day of this seven day feast is Passover)
3. The first first fruits is in the middle of the feast of unleavened bread
4. Shavuot -- Feast of firstfruits for wheat, same day that Moses went up the mountain, a shadow of Jesus ascending to the heavens
5. Pentecost -- this is not directly mentioned in Leviticus, but Leviticus does talk about taking the first fruits to God to bless the harvest, so indirectly this was referred to. It is 50 days after Shavuot, and is the Feast of New wine. Traditional Christianity does not teach this but the fact is crystal clear in the New Testament and when all the relevant verses are considered it is undeniable.
6. Trumpets (If you want to start with Rosh Hashanah, then this would be the first feast)
7. Day of Atonement
8. Feast of Tabernacles.
Sure, in Matthew 9:27 Jesus meets two blind men, he heals them in verse 29 and "and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it." In English it seems that this word contradicts the Lord's charge that we are to be His witnesses, so you will have to go to the Greek to explain what Jesus is saying. Please note this story is different from the one in Mark where Jesus told them to go to the Priest and they instead went out to publish this abroad. I will provide a hint, the word for straitly charged means that Jesus warned them. He was warning them to avoid a particular pitfall, what was it?
