We all should go through to the other side.
Lost in Translation
The "let us" is wrong here. The verb is in the form of a possibility. It is in the first-person, plural, "we," not addressed to those with him. So, "we should go.." The verb that begins this sentence translated as "pass over/go over" is only used by Jesus four times, twice to refer to unclean spirits and once to a camel going through a needle's eye. It means to "go through." The form is something the "should" or "might" happen.
The ending is the punchline, Jesus says, literally "We should go through, into the beyond." The "other side" is an adverb meaning "beyond," and "further," but it was used, originally poetically, to refer to crossing a body of water. That poetic meaning of "the other side" when referring to water was carried over to its common usage. The "other side" is also a metaphor for the afterlife.
