The Passover is not a type of the passion
perhaps lacuna Christ is sacrificed, but he has not been crucified for all, but for those who are able to say: "But to me the world has been crucified, and I to the world," (Galatians 6:14) and for those who are able to say: "Having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a show of them, triumphing on the wood," (Colossians 2:15) and for those who are able to say: "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
Greek
τάχα ... ὁ X(ριστὸ)ς θύ[ετ]αι, οὐ π[ᾶσι] δ[' ἐ]σ[τ(αύ)ρ(ωτ)αι ἀλλὰ [το]ῖς δυ[ναμέ]νοις ε[ἰ]πεῖν· "Ἐμοὶ δὲ [κόσμο]ς ἐστ(αύ)ρ(ωτ)αι κἀγὼ κόσμῳ"[,] καὶ τοῖς δυναμένοις εἰπεῖν· "Ἀπεκδυσάμενος τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας ἐδειγμάτισεν θριαμβεύσας ἐν τῷ ξύλῳ", καὶ τοῖς δυναμένοις εἰπεῖν· "Ἐμοὶ δὲ|| μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ στ(αυρ)ῷ τοῦ κ(υρίο)υ ἡμῶν Ἰ(ησο)ῦ X(ριστο)ῦ, δι' οὗ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐστ(αύ)ρ(ωτ)αι κἀγὼ κόσμῳ."
