John 7:1
Douay-Rheims
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
Theophylact of Ohrid
Our Lord brings two arguments in answer to their two charges. To the charge of fear He answers, that He reproves the deeds of the world, i. e. of those who love worldly things; which He would not do, if He were under the influence of fear; and He replies to the charge of vain glory, by sending them to the feast, Go ye up unto this feast. Had He been possessed at all with the desire for glory, He would have kept them with Him: for the vain glorious like to have many followers.
