Question:
Is the feast mentioned in John 5:1 should be the 2nd Passover because it gave the sick man a second chance?

My mistake on my first guess on John 5:1 in that I forgot that Purim comes last a 14th of Adar. I am researching the usage of the word "feast" in the Gospel of John and I am trying to prove that the ministry of Jesus Christ was only one year instead of three years. To qualify as a lamb, the age of the sheep should be at least a year old before its sacrifice.
John 1:29 - The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Exodus 12:5 - Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

1. John 2:13 – And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:27 - Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
February 13, 27 AD – Jesus Baptism, Thursday
March 25, 27 AD – End Fasting, Tuesday, 40 days after baptism
March 28, 27 AD – Nisan 1, Jewish New Year, Friday, 3 days after end of fasting, acceptable year of the Lord. This proved that Jesus ministry is only 1 year!
April 3, 27 AD – Nisan 7, Cleansing of the Temple, Sunday, 6 days after reading in Synagogue
The start of the 1st feast in Gospel of John - feast of Passover. Their deliverance from Egypt. This would also signal the start of the New Year in Jewish Calendar. Jesus performed the cleansing of the Temple by driving out the merchants doing business right in the Temple area.

2. John 5:1 – After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
This was the Second Passover and Jesus went back again to Jerusalem. It is celebrated on the next month after the 1st Passover, Iyar 14.
Iyar 14 – May 9, 27AD, Friday
John 5:7 - The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
The impotent man was given the second chance to be made whole after waiting for 38 years. Maybe, his condition was known to Jesus even in Jesus younger years.

3. John 6:4 - And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh
Date: June 1, 27AD, Sunday
This would be 59 days after the cleansing of the Temple, which is Sunday.
The place was in a mountain, the bread was barley. Barley is harvested during Passover and wheat is harvested during Pentecost. Pentecost mark the end of the barley harvest and the priest make a wave offering of the barley sheaf in the Temple. So, John 6:4 could not be Passover because the setting is not Jerusalem and the bread is barley and not wheat because they were just harvesting wheat at that time. Therefore, this feast should be Pentecost, because the setting was just like Mount Sinai and the people were filled with their physical hunger. Pentecost was the giving of the Law to Israel. The year following on June 20, 28AD that the giving of the gift of the holy spirit was given to the 12 apostles which signals the start of the New Testament. If this feast would be Passover, Jesus would rather be in Jerusalem and not in Galilee and not into a mountain.
So we have 49 days from Jesus baptism to cleansing of the Temple.

4. John 7:2 – Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
feast of Tabernacles - rightly so and this is correct. This would also be 14 days after Tishri 1, the old date of the Jewish New Year before the Exodus from Egypt. Tishri 1 was also the date of the original 7th day of rest of Yahweh on July 28, 4004BC, 1 day after birth of Adam. Tishri 1, September 11, 3 BC was also the birth of Christ Jesus. On its full moon would be the final feast and final harvest in the future glory of Christ Jesus.
September 20, 27 AD, Saturday, Tishri 1, Old Jewish New Year. Feast of the Trumpet
October 3, 27AD, Friday, Feast of Tabernacles, Tishri 14.

5. John 10:22 – And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
Feast of Dedication - a feast of the Jews - Again, a feast added by Jews to celebrate their victory in the Maccabees war and the cleansing of the Temple. The feast was added by the Jews and not in the original commandment by Yahweh.
December 13, 27AD – Saturday, Kislev 25

6: John 12:1 –Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany,
April 15, 28AD = Nisan 1 = Jewish New Year
April 22, 28 AD = Nisan 8 = Jesus in Bethany
Daniel 9:25 - and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
April 23, 28 AD = Nisan 9 = Jesus entry into Jerusalem, Friday, just before the Weekly Sabbath.
April 28, 28AD – Wednesday - Death of Jesus on the cross. 400 days from end of fasting.
Daniel 9:24 - Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city
This 70 weeks starts from Jesus baptism and ends with Pentecost on June 20, 28AD. This excludes the 3 days Jesus was dead. 40 + 400 + 40 + 10 = 490 days

People who were unclean (lepers or someone in contact with a dead body, etc.), were not allowed to participate in the first seder of Nisan. Thirty days later, a minor Passover is held for such people. The observance lasts one day, and matzah is eaten. Some congregations sponosr a mini-seder.

When Jesus' cousin John called him the Lamb of God this was at the start of Jesus ministry. It was a figure of speech and should not be taken literally so as to limit Jesus, ministry to one year.

Daniel's prophecy about the messiah talks of 'half of the week' which would represent three and a half years.

in case you had asked me this consistent with threat even in basic terms a year and 0.5 in the past i'd in all probability say no. even nevertheless on the grounds that beginning my dating with God and discovering approximately him. i won't be in a position to help yet think of of each and every of the "2d opportunities" he has given me... each and every of the situations i comprehend I surely have enable him down, shamed him, or injury him in some way yet he's often forgiving and continually keen to furnish me yet another threat. Then how ought to I probable not do a similar myself to others?? i admire the story of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18:23 anybody would desire to verify it out in the event that they have not already

xtianity is diametrically opposed to G*D



G*D, Noachidism and Judaism teach if you keep these 7 laws you will have an EQUAL share in the world to come.



* To behave justly in all relationships, and to establish courts of justice.

* To refrain from blaspheming G*d's name.

* To refrain from practicing idolatry.

* To avoid immoral practices, specifically incest and adultery.

* To avoid shedding the blood of ones fellow man.

* To refrain from robbing ones fellow man.

* To refrain from eating a limb torn from a live animal.

G*D denies jesus and all xtian teachings.

Scripture says G*D has no son but the Nation of Israel.

Shemot-Exodus 4:22 And you shall say to Pharaoh, 'So said the Lord, "My firstborn son is Israel." '



G*D said no one could die for the sins of another:

Devarim - Deuteronomy - Chapter 24:16. Fathers shall not be put to death because of sons, nor shall sons be put to death because of fathers; each man shall be put to death for his own transgression.



Ezekiel 18:

20. The soul that sins, it shall die; a son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father shall not bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21. And if the wicked man repent of all his sins that he has committed and keeps all My laws and executes justice and righteousness, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

22. All his transgressions that he has committed shall not be remembered regarding him: through his righteousness that he has done he shall live.

23. Do I desire the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Is it not rather in his repenting of his ways that he may live?



G*D is not a trinity. The origin of the trinity is ancient Babylon. Scripture says G*D is 1

Devarim - Deuteronomy - Chapter 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one.

Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 45:7. Who forms light and creates darkness, Who makes peace and creates evil; I am the Lord, Who makes all these.



G*D alone is the only savior

Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no savior.



G*D alone is the only Redeemer

Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.



Scripture says G*D said none share his glory

Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 42:8. I am the Lord, that is My Name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to the graven images.



G*D said none sit beside him

Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 45: 5. I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God: I will strengthen you although you have not known Me.

6. In order that they know from the shining of the sun and from the west that there is no one besides Me; I am the Lord and there is no other



Fear G*D and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiates 12:13



Shoftim - Judges - Chapter 2

1. And a messenger of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said (in God's name), "I will take you up from Egypt and I have brought you to the land that I have sworn to your forefathers and I said, 'I will not break my covenant with you forever.



Further more G*D said not to trust in man and that He would not come in the flesh of man.

Jeremiah 17:5 So says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.



Since xtians claim that their Satan/devil is what attempts to separate people from G*D, they then admit to working for their Satan/devil when they evangelize the Jewish people.



G*D is 1. G*D is Ein Sof = Eternal Infinite - logically, mathematically and by definition there can be only 1. More than 1 there is an end/beginning before there can be the other negates logic, mathematics and definition.

Devarim - Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God; the Lord is one. ד. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְ־הֹוָ־ה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְ־הֹוָ־ה אֶחָד:
