The term 'Passion' means which of the following?

• A. To endure or suffer
• B. To celebrate a feast
• C. To preach openly
• D. To forgive

Answer: (A)

Passion in this context refers to the suffering Jesus endured leading up to and including his crucifixion. The term comes from the Latin passio, meaning suffering, and in Christian tradition the Passion covers the events from Jesus’ arrest through his death, highlighting how he endured agony for others. That makes the option about enduring or suffering the best fit. The other ideas—celebrating a feast, preaching openly, or forgiving—describe different actions and don’t capture the specific sense of Jesus’ suffering captured by the word Passion.
