'Near' in the Bible

The Jewish Passover was near, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People were coming and being baptized,

so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

Now the Passover, a Jewish festival, was near.

After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

Some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.

The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,

Bethany was near Jerusalem (about two miles away).

Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews but departed from there to the countryside near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim. And He stayed there with the disciples.

The Jewish Passover was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country to purify themselves before the Passover.

Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
