What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
That is, the father determined that he should manage nothing until the legally appointed age, which he must also obey.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Fourthly, he touches on the correspondence of time, when he says, "until the time appointed by the father," because just as the heir is under tutors for a definite period of time fixed by the father, so the Law had a time fixed by God determining how long it was to endure and how long the heir, i.e., the Jewish people, were to be under it. Similarly, there was a time fixed by the Father during which Christ was not to perform miracles or show the Lordship of His divine power: "My hour is not yet come" (Jn. 2:4).
