Verse 10. But why does he ascend to the festival day, when he said he would not? He did not say, I will not ascend, but only, I do not ascend; that is, in your company. Saint John Chrysostom hom. xlvii in Joan.—Or, I do not go up to this festival, that is the first or second day of the feast, which lasted eight days, and to which you wish me to ascend: but he went afterwards, when the first part of the festival was over. Saint Augustine, tract. 28. in Joan.
