Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 6:1-14

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“The persecutions of the Jews gave Him reason for retiring, and thus setting aside the Law. The truth being now revealed, types were at an end, and He was under no obligation to keep the Jewish feasts. Observe the expression, a feast of the Jews, (Mat. 14:13) not a feast of Christ.”
