Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready — Jesus distinguishes between his 'kairos' (appointed time, the time of God's redemptive action) and the brothers' time (any time, always ready). His brothers operate on human chronology—whenever you want, go; but Jesus operates on eschatological chronology determined by the Father. The distinction is not merely temporal but theological: Jesus's 'hour' (which will not come until the crucifixion) determines when and how his full revelation occurs. The brothers, by contrast, are free to move about without danger because they do not threaten the world's system.
