The Passover [38-01]
Every year, the Jews celebrated the Passover. This was a celebration of how God had saved their ancestors from slavery in Egypt many centuries earlier. About three years after Jesus first began preaching and teaching publicly, Jesus told his disciples that he wanted to celebrate this Passover with them in Jerusalem, and that he would be killed there.
耶稣传道大约三年。那时，正是逾越节，是用来纪念许多年前神如何将以色列人从埃及为奴之身营救出来。耶稣知道即将发生的事，他告诉他的门徒们，他要去耶路撒冷，并且在那被杀。
