The Passover

By A. K.

3478 — A. K. The Passover — The Passover supper that Jesus ate with His disciples was, it seems to us, anticipatory, by a few hours, of the regular Passover, but on the same day. The exact time was met by His death upon the cross. The divisions of the day were known by the first hour in the division. The first hour continued till nine o'clock; the third hour, till 12; the sixth hour, till 3 p.m.; the twelfth hour, till 6. Jesus died after the ninth hour was passed, after the darkness ended, "between the two evenings," as indicated by Ex. 12:6, margin.
