Context of John 7:5
3His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest; 4for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world: for neither did his brethren believe on him. 6Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.

But as they were in the "upper room" among the one hundred and twenty disciples who waited for the descent of the Spirit after the Lord's ascension (Ac 1:14), they seem to have had their prejudices removed, perhaps after His resurrection.
