John 6:4 notes another feast (Passover) at hand. This parallel within the same gospel shows the rhythm of feasts in Jesus' ministry.

John 11:55 describes people going up to Jerusalem for Passover. This mirrors Jesus' journey, emphasizing the pilgrimage pattern.

Exodus 23:14-17 commands three annual feasts in Jerusalem — Jesus here obeys that command by going to a feast.

Exodus 34:23 commands all males to appear at three annual feasts. This background shows Jesus' journey fulfills the Law's requirement.

Leviticus 23:2-4 lists the appointed feasts of the Lord. The feast in John is one of these, giving context to Jesus' attendance.

Deuteronomy 16:16 repeats the three annual pilgrimage commands. This reinforces that Jesus' journey is a lawful observance.

Galatians 4:4 states Jesus was born under the law. This explains his participation in Jewish feasts as part of his earthly obedience.
