A Miracle on the Way to the Sacrifice

In John 12:1, the apostle recalls that "Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead." In John 11:55, John recalls that many of the Jews went up to Jerusalem, out of the country, to purify themselves before the Passover; Jesus was also on his way to Jerusalem, but not just to celebrate the Passover, but to sacrifice himself as the ultimate Passover lamb, sacrificed for the sins of the world.
