  • PER168 The third Passover feast

    Pericope PER168 marks the third Passover feast of the ministry of the Messiah Jesus, dated Monday, April 12, AD 32, and mentioned only by John (Jn 6,4). Located in Galilee near Bethsaida, Jesus and his disciples do not seem to go up to Jerusalem, given the intensity of their activity. This mention serves as a chronological landmark in the synopsis, announcing the events to come up to the Feast of Tabernacles in October AD 32.

    John 7.14 (King James Version) :
    Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

  • PER206 The Feast of Tabernacles

    Pericope 206 deals with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), reported only by John (7.2-10). Jesus decides to go up secretly to Jerusalem in October AD 32, six months before his arrest. John reveals the tension with the religious authorities and the unbelief of Jesus’ brothers, elements absent from the Synoptic Gospels.

    John 7.10 (King James Version) :
    But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
