John 7:5 - Adam Clarke

John 7:5

3 ^aHis brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

5 For ^aeven His ^bbrothers did not believe in Him.

6 Then Jesus said to them, ^a“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7 ^aThe world cannot hate you, but it hates Me ^bbecause I testify of it that its works are evil.

John 7:5

Neither did his brethren believe in him - They did not receive him as the promised Messiah; but, having seen so many of his miracles, they could not but consider him as an eminent prophet. They supposed that, if he were the Messiah, he would wish to manifest himself as such to the world; and, because he did not do so, they did not believe that he was the salvation of Israel.
