4. Nemo quippe in occulto quid 4. For there is no man that facit, et quaerit ipse in doth anything in secret, and palam esse: si haec facis, he himself seeketh to be known manifesta teipsum mundo. openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. 5. Neque enim fratres eius 5. For neither did his credebant in eum. brethren believe in him. 5. As already explained, if we regard the three Apostles as included among the brethren, we may understand here that their faith was still _imperfect_; if other cousins of our Lord are meant, they may have been wholly without faith. 6. Dicit ergo eis Iesus: 6. Then Jesus said to them: My Tempus meum nondum advenit: time is not yet come; but your tempus autem vestrum semper time is always ready. est paratum. 6. There are many opinions as to what is meant by _His time_, here referred to by Christ. Some say it is the time of His passion; others, the time for manifesting Himself to the world; and others, the time for going up to Jerusalem. The latter opinion seems to us the most natural and most probable. 7. Non potest mundus odisse 7. The world cannot hate you; vos: me autem odit, quia ego but me it hateth: because I testimonium perhibeo de illo give testimony of it, that the quod opera eius mala sunt. works thereof are evil. 7. His brethren might go up to Jerusalem at any time, for they, even if some of them were Apostles, had not yet incurred the odium of the _wicked_ world (John xv. 18, 19). 8. Vos ascendite ad diem 8. Go you up to this festival festum hunc: ego autem non day, but I go not up to this ascendo ad diem festum istum, festival day: because my time quia meum tempus nondum is not accomplished. impletum est. 9. Haec cum dixisset, ipse 9. When he had said these mansit in Galilaea. things, he himself staid in Galilee. 10. Ut autem ascenderunt 10. But after his brethren fratres eius, tunc et ipse were gone up, then he also ascendit ad diem festum non went up to the feast, not manifeste, sed quasi in openly, but as it were in occulto. secret.
