Barnes New Testament Notes

Verse 1. A feast. Probably the Passover, though it is not certain. There were two other feasts -- the Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles -- at which all the males were required to be present, and it might have been one of them. It is of no consequence, however, which of them is intended.

{a} "A feast" Le 23:2; De 16:16; Joh 2:3
