This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The feast of the Jews (hē heortē tōn Ioudaiōn). Here used of the passover (to pascha) as in Joh 7:2 of the tabernacles. This is probably the third passover in Christ’s ministry (Joh 2:13 and one unmentioned unless Joh 5:1 be it). In Joh 2:13, here, and Joh 11:55 (the last one) the adverb eggus (near) is used. John is fond of notes of time. Jesus failed to go to this passover because of the hostility in Jerusalem (Joh 7:1).
