'Passover' in the Bible

And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.

Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

The next day, when the large crowd who had come to the Passover feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath (because the day of that Sabbath was a great day), the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.
