advanced was “that Thy disciples also may see Thy works which Thou doest”’. καὶ of µαθηταί σου seems to imply that since the Feeding of the Five Thousand in April, Jesus had been living in com- parative retirement, perhaps at Nazareth. At Jerusalem, all who were attached to Him would be found at the Feast; and the brothers recognise that He would then have an opportunity of putting His elaims to the proof. “Χο one,” they say, ‘who seeks public recognition con- fines his activities to a hidden and private corner.” ἐν παρρησίᾳ, as in xi. 54, means ‘“‘ openly” or “‘in public,” and is in direct contrast to ἐν κρυπτῷ. Hav- ing laid down the general law, they then apply it to Him, ‘‘if (or ‘since,’ not ex- pressing doubt) Thou doest these things, show Thyself to the world”. Licke, following Euthymius, thinks doubt is im- plied in εἰ; but this implies an ignorance on the part of the brothers which is in- conceivable.—Ver. 5. It is indeed added οὐδὲ γὰρ . . . αὐτόν, “ For not even did His brothers believe in Him”; but this does not mean that they did not believe He wrought miracles, but that they had not submitted to His claim to be Messiah. They required to see Him publicly ac- knowledged before they could believe. Therefore this clause is introduced to explain why they urged Him to go to Jerusalem.—Ver. 6. His answer was ὁ καιρὸς 6 ἐμὸς οὕπω πάρεστιν . . . ἕτοιμος. The time for my manifestation to the authorities as Messiah is not yet come; but no time is inappropriate or
unsafe for you to show yourselves.—Ver. 7. The reason of the different procedure lies in the different relation to the world held by Jesus and His brothers. οὐ δύναται . . . ἐστιν. There is no danger of your incurring the world’s hatred by anything you do or say; because your wishes and actions are in the world’s own spirit. But me the world hates, and I cannot at random or on every occasion utter to it my claims and pure pose, because the very utterance of these claims causes it to be conscious that its desires are earthly (see chap. vi. passim). This hatred of the world compelled Him to choose His time for manifesting Him- self.—Ver. 8. ἡὑμεῖς . . . πεπλήρωται “Go ye up to the feast. I go not up yet to this Feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.” His time for manifesting Him- self publicly was not yet come, and therefore He did not wish to go up to the feast with His brothers, who were eager for some public display. Had He gone in their company He would have been proclaimed, and would have ap- peared to be the nominee of His own family. It was impossible He should go on any such terms.—Ver. 9. He there- fore remained where He was.—Ver. 1Ο. Ὡς δὲ ἀνέβησαν ... κρυπτφ. “ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the Feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.” That,is to say, He went up, but not at His brothers’ instigation, nor with the publicity they had recommended.
