어린이를 위한 설명

Imagine you're at a big playground, and your friend is having trouble on the swings. Some kids might go help right away, but others just watch from far away because they're scared or unsure what to do. That's like how Jesus' friends watched him, feeling sad and afraid.

역사적 배경

The verse was written by Luke, a doctor and historian who recorded events for his friend Theophilus in the late first century AD. This account is set in Jerusalem during Passover when many people would be around to witness such public executions.
