John Chrysostom, on John 7:31

“But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?”

“(Hom. l. 3) They did not mean, that our Lord was going to the Gentiles for their hurt, but to teach them. Their anger had subsided, and they believed what He had said. Else they would not have thought of asking each other, What manner of saying is this that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and whither I am, ye cannot come.”
