About this ebook

It considers certain details in the Gospels that draw attention to the Jewish background of these events with a special emphasis on their significant association with aspects of the Jewish liturgical calendar that apply to Pesach or the Passover.
The final week of Y’shua’s life contains nearly a dozen incidents that the author has labelled as “full house events” recorded by the four Canonical Gospel writers. The only others are Y’shua’s baptism and the feeding of the 5000 discussed in earlier volumes. There can be no doubt, as far as the Gospel writers were concerned, that Y’shua’s death held at least as much significance as his life.
Tracing Y’shua’s journey from the ecstatic procession into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through his decision to bring everything to a head with the religious establishment and his clandestine arrest and forced march under guard towards his early morning religious and political trials away from the gaze of public attention, the storytelling is harrowing. However, as one-sided as this battle may seem, the Gospels leave the distinct hope that perhaps Y’shua’s death wasn’t the end.
