It has been reported that there is manuscript evidence in Scotland that John 6:4 was not in the original manuscript of the book of John. I'm researching this and want any evidence that is available. If this is true than the ministry of Yahshua of Nazareth was a little over a year long, not 3 and a half years as most Christians teach and believe.

Count the ' Passovers described in Biblical text. Assume he started his ministry at 30. (I seem to recall 30, is scripture too, but at teh moment I can not think of its location).

Why Does Michael Rood Say That John 6:4 Does Not Belong In The Bible?

Don't be taken in by the rantings and ravings of those who seek only to discredit what the Bible says by means of their own opinions rather than historical evidence. Books or articles written by people of today (nearly two thousand years beyond the time of Christ) can not be considered evidence of what is or is not true.
The only way for you to find the answer to your question is to ask those who have access to the original texts and are an authority in laungage translation. I would suggest you begin by making contact with people who are in a position to have had that experience or know someone who has had it such as Professors of theology. They could perhaps at least give you the present location of the original texts and you can take it from there.

The Bible is quite specific about Jesus' ministry being 3.5 years long. This was part of the prophecy contained in the book of Daniel.
Usually, in many Bibles there is a note when a scripture is of dubious nature or when it only is contained in one of the old parchments! There is no such note in my Bibles about John 6:4.
However John 7:53-8:11 has such a note. the Gospel of Mark has such a note and shows that there might be a short or a long conclusion for that gospel!

Since the first print of the King James bible, we have had dozens of new translations. All of these translations go back to the original Greek and Jewish texts, so even if the King James translation is wrong, then the others should be right. The real question should be, what does it matter, one year or three? Does it change the message of love?

John 6:4 says And the passover, a feast of the jews, was nigh. I am lost as to what you mean.

Are you sure you've got the chapter and verse right? John 6:4 only says "The Jewish Passover Feast was near." [NIV]
I don't see any reason to believe that that is erroneous.

“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences) ,
The Christian Trinity is a copy of the Pagan religion of Rome called Mithraism. Mithra was a half man half god who died for the sins of his followers. Guess what date the SUN god Mithra was born on ? - Thats right ...December 25th
The concept of God having a son is the basis of most Polytheistic religions and the exact opposite of the Abrahamic message of Monotheism. Your Lord is ONE – no partner, no Son , No God incarnate.
“The son-ship of Jesus Christ is the greatest fiction of human history.” (Lord Bishop of Canterbury Commission, the Spiritual Head of England, 1910.)
“The son-ship of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the blood sacrifice of the lamb of God, atonement are not the teachings of Jesus. These are all inventions of Saint Paul who never really met Jesus.” (Hastings Rashdall, The Theory of Good and Evil)
