After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Ver. 1. A feast of the Jews] This was the feast of Pentecost. Others say the Passover, which came but once a year. The true Christians (for whom the true Passover was sacrificed, 1Co 5:7) keep a continual feast or holy day, εορταζωμεν, with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, 1 Corinthians 5:8. Diogenes could say, that a good man keeps holy days and hath gaudies delights all the year about. a "Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me," Exodus 5:1. In other messages it is, "that they may serve me."
