John 7:6-7

Then Jesus said—My time is not yet come, &c.— Jesus, knowing the malice of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, did not incline to be among them longer than was absolutely necessary, knowing that they would take every opportunity to persecute and destroy him; but the time for his death was not yet come. "It is not proper for me," says he, "to go up yet to this feast; but you may go up at any time you please, since you have done nothing to make the Jews unfriendly to you, as I have done, who, by the purity of my doctrine and the freedom of my reproofs, have provoked their malice to the highest pitch." The words, the world cannot hate you, contain a most awful insinuation, that these kinsmen of our Lord were persons governed entirely bycarnal views, and therefore destitute of the love of God, and all well-grounded hope from him.
