The Jewish Passover Festival was near.
The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.
Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night.
