Évangile
(Behold, let us go up to Jerusalem), 159, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the Sunday , the last Sunday before Lent, and probably first performed it on 27 February 1729. The gospel reading for the Sunday, from the Gospel of Luke, includes Jesus announcing his suffering and death in Jerusalem. The cantata's theme and Bach's music foreshadow his Passion.
