JOHN—NOTE ON John 7:8 I am not going up to this feast is not a mistake by John or a lie by Jesus, even though Jesus did go up to the feast (v. John 7:10). The Greek present tense can have the sense, “I am not now going,” indicating that Jesus did not go to the feast at the time or in the way the brothers suggested (they wanted Jesus to prove himself to his contemporaries for secular reasons).
