8 You go up to this feast. I am not¹ yet going up to this feast, ^afor My time has not yet fully come.”

<< John 7:6

John 7:8 >>

The world cannot hate you - The Jews will not persecute you, because ye are in their sentiments and interests. Ye also expect a worldly Messiah.

But me it hateth - Because I condemn its injustice, its pride, its ambition, and its maxims, by my life and doctrine. It is very likely that the term world means here the Jewish people only: this is an acceptation in which ̔ frequently occurs in this Gospel. See on John 17 (note).
