Contextual Overview
1 After this Jesus resided in Galilee: for he would not be in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. now the 2 Jews feast of the tabernacles drawing nigh, 3 his relations said to him, retire hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples there may also see the works that you do. 4 for no body acts in private, that designs to distinguish himself: since you do such things, shew yourself to the world. 5 for even his brethren did not believe in him. 6 but Jesus said to them, my time is not yet come: but any time is equally proper for you. 7 the world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I plainly show, that their works are evil. 8 do you go up to this feast, as for me I do not go with you to it, because my time is not yet accomplished. 9 thus he delivered his mind, and stay'd himself in Galilee. 10 but when his brethren were gone, he went likewise to the feast, not openly, but in secret.

whilst they flatter themselves with peace and safety, destruction shall fall upon them, like the pangs of a woman in travail, and they shall not escape.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the Jews sought him at the feast,.... Some to take him and kill him, and others to hear his doctrine, and see his miracles: for all expected him at the feast, knowing it was always his custom, as it was his duty, as an Israelite, to attend at it:
and said, where is he? not naming his name; either through contempt, which might be the case of the far greater part; or through fear of the Jews; or because that he was so well known.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 7:11. Then the Jews sought him — By Jews here are to be understood the scribes, Pharisees, and rulers of the people, and not the inhabitants of the province of Judea. It appears, from the following verses, that many of the people were prejudiced in his favour, but they dared not to own it publicly for fear of the Jews, i.e. for fear of the rulers of the people.
