“After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.”
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. — the vague temporal marker (some time later) allows narrative flexibility. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem for a festival introduces the city of conflict and rejection. Jewish festivals (while not named) represent the calendar of temple worship that Jesus will challenge.
