Contextual Overview
1 After these things, Iesus walked in Galile, and woulde not walke in Iudea: for the Iewes sought to kill him. 2 Nowe the Iewes feast of the Tabernacles was at hande. 3 His brethren therefore sayde vnto him, Depart hence, and goe into Iudea, that thy disciples may see thy woorkes that thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing secretely, and hee himselfe seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, shewe thy selfe to the worlde. 5 For as yet his brethren beleeued not in him. 6 Then Iesus saide vnto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway readie. 7 The world can not hate you: but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes thereof are euill. 8 Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wil not go vp yet vnto this feast: for my time is not yet fulfilled. 9 These things he sayde vnto them, and abode still in Galile. 10 But assoone as his brethren were gone vp, then went hee also vp vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were priuilie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Howbeit, no man spoke openly of him,.... So loud as to be overheard, at least by many, but in a secret and whispering way; or did not speak with freedom, or all their mind, what they really thought of him, nor with courage and boldness:
for fear the Jews; for fear of being mobbed by them, or up and prosecuted, or turned out of the synagogue; for a law was made, that whoever confessed him, should be so used; and this deterred persons from expressing the true sentiments of their minds about him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Spake openly of him - The word translated “openly,” here, is commonly rendered “boldly.” This refers doubtless, to those who really believed on him. His enemies were not silent; but his friends had not confidence to speak of him openly or boldly that is, to speak what they really thought. Many supposed that he was the Messiah, yet even this they did not dare to profess. All that they could say in his favor was that he was a good man. There are always many such friends of Jesus in the world who are desirous of saying something good about him, but who, from fear or shame, refuse to make a full acknowledgment of him. Many will praise his morals, his precepts, and his holy life, while they are ashamed to speak of his divinity or his atonement, and still more to acknowledge that they are dependent on him for salvation.
