Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 20:1-9

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“Or thus: Peter is practical and prompt, John contemplative and intelligent, and learned in divine things. Now the contemplative man is generally beforehand in knowledge and intelligence, but the practical by his fervour and activity gets the advance of the other’s perception, and sees first into the divine mystery.”
