That year Jesus did not go back to Jerusalem for the Passover for the hour of his death was yet to come. He celebrated the feast with the multitudes around him, a substitute for the Passover; thereby pointing to the heavenly banquet where the Savior would join with his saints in great joy.
Mwaka ule Yesu hakurudia kwenda Yerusalemu kwa Pasaka, kwa sababu saa ya kufa kwake ilikuwa bado. Alisherekea sikukuu hii pamoja na umati wa watu karibu naye badala ya Pasaka; kwa njia hiyo alielekeza kwa sherehe kuu ya mbinguni, ambapo Mwokozi atakapounganika na watakatifu wake katika furaha kuu.
