JN10:12 {Baba Metzia 7:8-9}
JN10:22 This is the Festival of Hanukkah, which is not mentioned in
        Tanakh, (O.T.), but instituted in 165 BC/Bce by Judas Massabeus
        commemorating the cleansing of the Temple after its desecration
        by Antiochus Epiphanes.  Mentioned in the Apocrypha (1Macc.
        4:52-59), and in the Rabbinic writings.   {Rosh haShanah 1:3;
        Taanith 2:10; Megillah 3:6; Moed Katan 3:9; Baba Kamma 6:6}
JN10:33 {Sanhedrin 9:6}
JN11:18 {Yoma 6:4}
JN11:39 {Yebamoth 16:3}
JN11:54 {Menahoth 8:1}
JN12:6  {Gittin 3:3; Baba Metzia 1:8}
JN12:15 The Torah requires that the Pesach/Passover lamb be selected on
        the 10th of Nissan, at which time it is brought into the house
        of the family that will be sacrificing it.  The time of
        Yeshua's entry into Yerushalayim also aligns with the 10th of
        Nissan.
JN12:20 {Shekalim 1:5, 7:6; Menahoth 5:3, 5:5-6, 6:1; Menahoth 9:8;
        Middoth 2:3; Kelim 1:8}
JN12:43 {Baba Metzia 2:11; Aboth 2:10, 4:1, 4:5, 4:12, 4:21, 6:3;
        Kerithoth 6:9}
JN13:2  (@ URCHATZ, WASHING OF THE HANDS:)  The entire Supper is also
        called the Seder, [or order].
             The translation of 'having occured', could be seen as an
        attempt to reconcile with the Luke reading of the denial, but
        please note, (in: Lk22:23,21-22,24 commentary), that I do not
        feel that this is justified.  So then: 'being in progress', or,
        'occuring' I believe would be a better understanding, and gives
        an alignment of all the Good-News accounts.
JN13:4  I place this as the Urchatz washing rather than the later, due
        to the lack of mention of the blessing being said.  In addition
        as it fits in well with the rest of the Gospel accounts order.
        It is also interesting to note that Kefa was surprised that
        Yeshua would wash his feet, being not only the duty of a
        servant, but being the part of the Seder where the hands were
        first washed.   {Shabbath 22:5}
JN13:5  {Ketuboth 5:5; Yadaim 4:1}
JN13:16 Verily, verily, should be read: amen and amen, when it appears.
        It is a closing rather than an introducion, which would give
        stress to the just prior comments, rather than used as an
        introduction.  This is a common Hebrew expression.
JN13:18 (@ MAROR, BITTER-HERBS [after Karpas, Dipping of Parsley])
JN13:19 Note the emphasis in the Greek with 'I AM', in: The Interlinear
        Bible/Hendrickson.
JN13:20 Noting that in verse 21 Yeshua is troubled, one is almost led
        to the conclusion that this statement in v.20, was a reminder
        to the Talmidim, of the event spoken of in Mk.9:37.
JN13:23 Yochanan/John would have been on the right side of Yeshua, in
        order to have leaned back on Yeshua's bosom, and Judas on the
        left.
JN13:26 (@KORECH BITTER-HERBS WITH CHAROSET [after Maror Bitter-herbs])
        I chose the dish being spoken of here as Korech, as not only
