Giovanni 7:6

6 Gesù quindi disse loro: Il mio tempo non è ancora venuto; il vostro tempo, invece, è sempre pronto.

Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 7:6 In-Context

4 Poiché niuno fa cosa alcuna in segreto, quando cerca d’esser riconosciuto pubblicamente. Se tu fai codeste cose, palesati al mondo.

5 Poiché neppure i suoi fratelli credevano in lui.

6 Gesù quindi disse loro: Il mio tempo non è ancora venuto; il vostro tempo, invece, è sempre pronto.

7 Il mondo non può odiar voi; ma odia me, perché io testimonio di lui che le sue opere sono malvagie.

8 Salite voi alla festa; io non salgo ancora a questa festa, perché il mio tempo non è ancora compiuto.
