John 6 tells the story of the feeding of the 5000. Verse 4, "the Passover..was near," seems out of place in that story. Why did the author include it? | ||||||

I suspect it also simply pinned down the time of year, and therefore the mood of the people and who was gathered in the area at the time. Sort of like we would say, "Now it was getting near Christmas time..." Passover is very significant for the Jews. In that day many Jews gathered from all over the known world to spend Passover in Jerusalem. | ||||||
