Church Fathers on John 5:5

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Augustine · 4th century · After the miracle in Galilee, He returns to Jerusalem

The feast of Pentecost. Jesus always went up to Jerusalem at the time of the feasts, that it might be seen that He was not an enemy to, but an observer of, the Law. And it gave Him the opportunity of impressing the simple multitude by miracles and teaching: as great numbers used then to collect from the neighboring towns.

Chrysostom · 4th century

The pool by the sheep-market, is the place where the priest washed the animals that were going to be sacrificed.
