Summary

The Exodus Way E7 — In Mark 14, we’re told that Jesus and his disciples celebrated Passover and sang a hymn before going out to the garden of Gethsemane. So what hymn did they sing? Rabbinic tradition going back to the time of Jesus records that during Passover, Jewish people sang Psalm 113-118, a collection of songs known as the Passover Hallel. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these six psalms’ references to the Exodus story and what they might have meant to Jesus on the night of the last supper.

0:00.0	This is John from Bible Project. Today, Tim and I continue our discussion on the Exodus Way.
0:10.5	The Exodus story has three stages. We've been calling them the road out, the road between, and the road in.

0:50.3	This is called the Passover halel.
0:52.3	And singing it helps us remember the significance of God calling us on the way.
0:57.6	And it's almost certainly what Jesus and his disciples sang during the night of Passover in Jerusalem.
1:03.4	So let's put ourselves in that mindset, too.
1:05.7	What would it be like to be Jesus disciples on that fateful night singing through these poems.
