The Passover and the Sabbath.
John, in his gospel, speaking of the Passover, calls it the "Jews' Passover," "a feast of the Jews," &c., as in the following texts. Chap. ii, 13. "And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem." Chap. vi, 4. "And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh." Chap. xi, 55. "And the Jews' Passover was nigh at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem . . . to purify themselves." Now will some one of those who claim that the Sabbath was peculiarly a Jewish institution, designed to cease, as the Passover did, at the cross of Christ, tell us why it is never once called, like the Passover, The Jews' Sabbath, or the Rest-day of the Jews, &c.
