What the Fathers say

John 7:36

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Finally, they saw an objection to their own opinion when they said: What does he mean by saying...? As if to say: If he had said only, You will look for me, and you will not find me, we could think that he was going to the Gentiles. But he seems to exclude this when he adds, where I am, you will not be able to come, for we can go to the Gentiles.

Bonaventure

"What is this saying that he said: You will seek me and will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?" Therefore they do not deserve to understand, because they were unwilling to humble themselves to believe.
