Yochanan 7:6

6 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My sha’ah has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 7:6 In-Context

4 For no one who seeks public notice does anything besod (secretly). If these things you do, then manifest yourself to HaOlam.
5 For not even the achim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach were believing in him. [TEHILLIM 69:8]
6 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My sha’ah has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7 The Olam Hazeh is not capable of sin’ah (hatred) toward you, but the Olam Hazeh hates me, and for this reason: I give solemn edut (testimony) about it because the ma’asim of the Olam Hazeh are ra’'im (evil).
8 You make aliyah leregel up to the Chag (Feast). I am not going up to this Chag (Feast), because my time has not yet been fulfilled.
