Annotation of N.T.
Why change the verse? example &mdash; 2:23 Judeans do sometimes designate their celebrations as Festivals. Suggest return to original "Feast" and maybe "witnessing" instead of watching miracles. Passover revolves around the food or festive meal, others could be, for example, Celebration of Tabernacles.

 * Add "yearly" terminology to Passover of v. 13 because only the Gospel of John gives the length of Jesus' ministry by enumerating three Passovers.
 * Greek lessons for beginners when under edit mode the Greek words of the Word Pictures are spelled out as &alpha: to &omega: rather than ISO numbers &#945: to &#969:
 * The buildup of Capernaum, Kapharnaoum, Kephar nahûm (village of Nahum) and what happened there.
 * Notice an additional bracketed [inline footnote] wherein [prophetic] is appended to words in v. 22. Jesus alludes to himself as a prophet without honor in His own country and also added, no real prophet of the region would perish outside Jerusalem. So the thought here, an afterthought is forethought, stating the obvious.
 * The Aramism of v. 23 using the name meaning the person (Acts 1: 15) is the most important sidebar to this translation playing a role in the whole parallel outline considering Aramaic not as primacy but the tie that binds, the original spoken language, part of the oral gospel tradition. The significance is apparent in Chapter 3 (v. 18) and looms large in Chapter 15 where name (v. 21) again becomes "name of Jesus" as in John 1: 12.
