now the passover of the Jews being nigh: the people of that country went in great numbers to Jerusalem before the passover, in order to purify themselves.

for the Jews passover being nigh, Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Now whilst he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the passover, many believed in him when they saw the miracles which he did.

for it was just before the passover, which is a feast of the Jews.

Six days before the passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and raised to life again.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus perceiving that his hour was come, when he was to pass out of this world, and go to the father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to eat the passover.

but as it is customary with you to get me to discharge some prisoner at the time of the passover, would you have me release the king of the Jews?

it was then about the sixth hour of the day before the sabbath of the passover: and he said to the Jews, behold your king.

they shall expel you out of the synagogues: yea, the time is coming, when it will be thought an agreeable sacrifice to God for any one to take away your lives.
