your house. So the feasts of the Lord (Leviticus 23:2), are called in this gospel, feasts of the Jews (John 11:55; John 5:1; John 6:4; John 7:2).
place Greek. topos). No doubt the temple was meant, the centre and source of all their influence and power. The word is often so used. See John 4:20; Acts 6:13; Acts 6:14; Acts 21:28; Acts 21:29.
nation. Greek. ethnos. " Our" belongs to nation as well as to place. They claimed the nation which they ruled as their own (see Luke 20:14).
