Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 7:1-8

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“He withdrew too now to Galilee, because the hour of His passion was not yet come; and He thought it useless to stay in the midst of His enemies, when the effect would only have been to irritate them the more. The time at which this happened is then given; Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.”
