John 6:4

John 6:4

2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were ^adiseased.

3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

4 ^aNow the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

5 ^aThen Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to ^bPhilip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”

6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

And the passover - was nigh - This happened about ten or twelve days before the third passover which Christ celebrated after his baptism. Calmet. For a particular account of our Lord' s four passovers see the note on John 2:13.

For thirty days before the Passover there were great preparations made by the Jews, but especially in the last nineteen days, in order to celebrate the feast with due solemnity. Lightfoot supposes that what is here related happened within the last fifteen days. See Calmet' s opinion above.
