The cantata Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe (Jesus took the Twelve to Him) was performed together with BWV 23 on Quinquagesima (the last Sunday before Lent) in 1723 as part of Johann Sebastian Bach’s audition for the position of Thomascantor in Leipzig. Both works were later repeated during his first full annual cycle of cantatas in the city. The modest instrumental scoring of this highly expressive piece did not prevent Bach from devising a rather unusual form – from the opening arioso to the central accompanied recitative to the closing chorale with obbligato instruments throughout.
