Contextual Overview

¹ After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because some evil people there wanted to kill him. ² It was time for the Feast of Shelters. ³ So Jesus' brothers said to him, "You should leave here and go to Judea so your followers there can see the miracles you do. ⁴ Anyone who wants to be well known does not hide what he does. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." ⁵ (Even Jesus' brothers did not believe in him.) ⁶ Jesus said to his brothers, "The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I tell it the evil things it does. ⁸ So you go to the feast. I will not go yet to this feast, because the right time for me has not yet come." ⁹ After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee. ¹⁰ But after Jesus' brothers had gone to the feast, Jesus went also. But he did not let people see him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Jesus said unto them,.... In answer to their solicitations and arguments used with him, to go up to the feast:

my time is not yet come; meaning, not the time of his death, or of his exaltation and glorification, or of the showing of himself forth unto the world; though all this was true; but of his going up to this feast; as appears from John 7:8;

but your time is always ready; intimating, they might go at any time; their lives were not in any danger, as his was, and had nothing to consult about the preservation of them; it was all one to them when they went up, whether before the feast, that they might be ready for it, or at the beginning, middle, or end of it, as to any notice that would be taken of them, unless they should be guilty of an omission of their duty; but not on any other account; which was not his case.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My time ... - The proper time for my going up to the feast. We know not why it was not yet a proper time for him to go. It might be because if he went then, in their company, while multitudes were going, it would have too much the appearance of parade and ostentation; it might excite too much notice, and be more likely to expose him to the envy and opposition of the rulers.

Your time ... - It makes no difference to you when you go up. Your going will excite no tumult or opposition; it will not attract attention, and will not endanger your lives. Jesus therefore chose to go up more privately, and to remain until the multitude had gone. They commonly traveled to those feasts in large companies, made up of most of the families in the neighborhood. See the notes at Luke 2:44.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse John 7:6. My time is not yet come — It is probable our Lord meant no more than this, that he had some business to transact before he could go to Jerusalem; but his brethren, having nothing to hinder them might set off immediately. Others think he speaks of his passion: My time of suffering is not yet come: as ye are still in friendship with the world, ye need not be under any apprehension of danger: ye may go when ye please. The first sense I think is the best.
