NASB | John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 13:1 Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come [and it was time] for Him to leave this world and return to the Father. Having [greatly] loved His own who were in the world, He loved them [and continuously loves them with His perfect love] to the end (eternally). |
Bible Question:
The three synoptic gospels have Jesus eating the Passover (Matthew 26:17-21, Mark 14:12-16, Luke 22:7-13) then being crucified. According to John, Jesus was crucified and slain at the same hour as the Passover lambs (John 13:1-2, John19:14,31). How is it that they can be different - either Jesus ate the last Passover with His disciples and was crucified the next day, or He was crucified during the preparation of the Passover? Thank you, Eugene |
Bible Answer: Continued... Greetings Keiko! There are also some newer positions. One says that the Pharisees and the Saducees celebrated the Passover on different days. "Many have noted a difference between the synoptic accounts (those in Matthew, Mark and Luke) and John's account of the dating of the death of Jesus. Specifically, the issue concerns the chronological relationship of the crucifixion to the celebration of the Passover meal by the Jews. Mark refers to some Jews observing the Passover the evening before the crucifixion. John seems to indicate a Passover celebration after the crucifixion. In a recent definitive article, Dr. Harold Hoehner of Dallas Theological Seminary solves the puzzle. Citing evidence from the Mishnah and the scholars Strock-Billerbock, Hoehner shows that the Pharisees and Sadducees (two contemporary religious parties) disagreed about the day of the week on which the Passover should fall. The result was that the Pharisees celebrated the Passover one day before the Sadducees did. This makes it entirely plausible that the synoptics use the reckoning of the Pharisees, while John presents that of the Sadducees, thus accounting for the difference."

I hope this helps in your studies. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
