John 7:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:6

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.

John 7:6 In-Context

4 for no one who wants to become known acts in secret. If you're doing these things, show yourself to the world!"

5 (His brothers spoke this way because they had not put their trust in him.)

6 Yeshua said to them, "My time has not yet come; but for you, any time is right.

7 The world can't hate you, but it does hate me, because I keep telling it how wicked its ways are.

8 You, go on up to the festival; as for me, I am not going up to this festival now, because the right time for me has not yet come."
