Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 7:9-13

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“Our Lord at first declares that He will not go up to the feast, (I go not up with you,) in order not to expose Himself to the rage of the Jews; and therefore we read, that, When He had said these words unto them, He abode still in Galilee. Afterwards, however, He goes up; But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the feast.”
