John Chrysostom — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 4:27-30

Patristic A.D. 407
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
“(Hom. xxxiii. 3) But notwithstanding their wonder, they asked Him no questions, No man said, What seekest Thou? or, Why talkest Thou with her? So careful were they to observe the rank of disciples, so great was their awe and veneration for Him. On subjects indeed which concerned themselves, they did not hesitate to ask Him questions. But this was not one.”
