ISB ~ John 5 v13

Jesus had withdrawn:i.e., from the man just cured of paralysis.

• Morally (St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Sermon on the Paralytic 16): Jesus disappears into the crowd to teach us to shun worldly praise. Though we are inclined to boast of our accomplishments, or at least be recognized for them, humility must turn us away from whatever acclaim might lead us to pride.
