Contextual Overview

1 AFTER these things Jesus travelled in Galilee; for he did not wish to travel in Judaea, because the Jews wanted to kill him. 2 Now the Jewish feast of the tabernacles was at hand. 3 And his brothers said to Jesus, Depart from here and go to Judaea, so that your disciples may see the works that you do. 4 For there is no man, who does anything in secret and yet wants it to become known. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the people. 5 For not even his own brothers believed in Jesus. 6 Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast; I am not going just now to this feast, for my time is not yet come. 9 He said these things, and remained in Galilee. 10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When he had said these words unto them,.... Had exhorted them to go up to the feast, and told them that he should not go yet, and the reason of it:

he abode [still] in Galilee; and went not up with his brethren, nor at all at present; showing hereby a firmness and resolution of mind, not using lightness of speech; and his words being not yea, and nay, but all of a piece, and by which he abode.
