John2:13

13 ¶ And the Jews passover was at hand: and Jesus went up to Hierusalem ,

Concerning the Jewish Passover, we have once and again spoken in our Notes on the other Evangelists; the Institution of it, was Exod. 12. It was to be solemnized yearly in the place which the Lord should chuse, according to the Law, Deut. 16.6. Christ, tho he was not naturally subject to the Law, yet to fulfil all Righteousness, and to Redeem his people from the Curse of the Law, Gal. 4.5. kept the passover yearly, taking also advantage from the conflux of the people to Hierusalem at that time, to make himself and his Doctrine more known. None of the other Evangelists make mention of more than one Passover betwixt the time of Christs Baptism and Death: Iohn plainly mentions three, one here, another in chap. 6.4. The last, chap. 18.39. and some think, that he mentioneth another, tho more obscurely, chap. 5.1. Our Lord was at them all.
