Three Passovers in John

High Level 2

Fact

John's Gospel records three Passovers during Jesus' ministry: 30, 31, and 32 AD

Evidence

  • John 2:13 - First Passover (temple cleansing, 46 years of building)

  • John 6:4 - Second Passover (feeding of 5,000)

  • John 11:55 - Third/Final Passover (crucifixion)

  • KJV has 77 occurrences of 'Passover/Easter' - possible supernatural checksum

  • Three Passovers = approximately 2.5-3 years of ministry

  • If ministry began Fall 29 AD, third Passover = Spring 32 AD

Supporting Facts

Depends On

The three Passovers in John's Gospel provide the framework for Jesus' ministry length. Combined with Tiberius' 15th year, they point to a 32 AD crucifixion.
