John 7:10 Douay-Rheims

But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(Tract. xxviii. 9) Or the meaning is, that all the ceremonial of the ancient people was the figure of what was to be; such as the feast of tabernacles. Which figure is now unveiled to us. Our Lord went up in secret, to represent the figurative system. He concealed Himself at the feast itself, because the feast itself signified, that the members of Christ were in a strange country. For he dwells in the tents, who regards himself as a stranger in the world. The word scenopegia here means the feast of tabernacles.
