Theophilus of Antioch
AD 184
Our Lord at first declares that He will not go up to the feast, (I go not up with you,) in order not to expose Himself to the rage of the Jews; and therefore we read, that, When He had said these words to them, He abode still in Galilee. Afterwards, however, Hegoes up; But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up to the feast.
