{The feast of the Jews} (h(8820)heort(8820)t(936e) Ioudai(936e)). Here used
of the passover (	o pascha) as in  7:2  of the tabernacles.
This is probably the third passover in Christ's ministry ( 2:13 
and one unmentioned unless  5:1  be it). In  2:13 , here, and
 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 ( 7:1 ).
