John 7:6 - Forerunner Commentary

John 7:6

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.

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

9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

John 7:6-8

Let us drop down to verse 6. We are going to see here, and all the way through chapters 7, 8, 9, and most of chapter 10 the Bible is testifying of the Jews' wrong conception of Jesus Christ, specifically in chapter 7. It carries through the other chapters as well. The reason they have things misconceived is because the teaching that was in their mind, and by which they were going to be judged, was largely based upon tradition, not biblical fact.
I said that this is going to show us a bit about how the Jews misunderstood Jesus, even as I showed you in that other sermon—John 3, John 4, John 5, and John 6—that they just completely misunderstood what He said, and it is continuing in John 7 and leading up to an understanding of the Last Great Day. That was His brothers who did not understand it. They did not get it. They grew up with Him, but they did not get it.
