But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?”

Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”
