This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

In Jerusalem (en tois Ierosolumois). The form Ierosoluma as in Joh 2:13 always in this Gospel and in Mark, and usually in Matthew, though Ierousalēm only in Revelation, and both forms by Luke and Paul.

During the feast (en tēi heortēi). The feast of unleavened bread followed for seven days right after the passover (one day strictly), though to pascha is used either for the passover meal or for the whole eight days.

Believed on his name (episteusan eis to onoma autou). See note on Joh 1:12 for this phrase. Only one has to watch for the real import of pisteuō.

Beholding his signs (theōrountes autou ta sēmeia). Present active participle (causal use) of theōreō.

Which he did (ha epoiei). “Which he was doing” (imperfect tense). He did his first sign in Cana, but now he was doing many in Jerusalem. Already Jesus had become the cynosure of all eyes in Jerusalem at this first visit in his ministry.
