John 7:6 - Calvin's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

6. My time is not yet come. There are some who erroneously interpret this as referring to the time of his death, for it denotes the time of his setting out on the journey to go to the feast. (181) He assures them that, in this respect, he differs from his relations. They may freely and without danger appear, at all hours, before the world, because the world is friendly and favorable to them; but he is in dread of his person, and justly, because the world is his mortal enemy. By these words he means that they do wrong in giving advice on a matter which they do not understand.

(181) “ De se mettre en chemin pour aller a la feste.”

John 7:6

6 Then Jesus said unto them,My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
