Contextual Overview

1And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him, 2and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters— 3His brothers, therefore, said to Him, "Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do; 4for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world"; 5for not even His brothers were believing in Him. 6Jesus, therefore, says to them, "My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready; 7the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil. 8You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled"; 9and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.10And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When he had said these words unto them,.... Had exhorted them to go up to the feast, and told them that he should not go yet, and the reason of it:

he abode [still] in Galilee; and went not up with his brethren, nor at all at present; showing hereby a firmness and resolution of mind, not using lightness of speech; and his words being not yea, and nay, but all of a piece, and by which he abode.
