The text of the cantata "Seht, wir gehen hinauf gen Jerusalem" was probably performed for the first time in 1729; this would make the cantata the last one that Bach performed in Leipzig before the performance of the St Matthew Passion. No other Estomihi text by Bach points so clearly to the Passion. In terms of both content and form, Picander's text forges a link with the St Matthew Passion, whose dialogue structure is anticipated in the cantata. If both works were actually performed in 1729, this would be an exciting bridge from Picander text to Picander text.
