{The passover of the Jews} (	o pascha t(936e) Ioudai(936e)). The
Synoptics do not give "of the Jews," but John is writing after
the destruction of the temple and for Gentile readers. John
mentions the passovers in Christ's ministry outside of the one
when Christ was crucified, this one and one in  6:4 . There may
be another ( 5:1 ), but we do not know. But for John we should
not know that Christ's ministry was much over a year in length.
