ISB ~ John 2 v13

The Passover:Celebrated every spring to commemorate Israel’s rescue from Egyptian slavery (Ex 12). Three times the Passover is mentioned in John, indicating that Jesus’ ministry extended beyond two years (6:4; 13:1).See note on Jn 6:4. Jerusalem: Nearly 80 percent of John’s narrative places Jesus in Jerusalem. The Synoptic Gospels give greater attention to the ministry of Jesus in Galilee.
