John 7:1–13
1 After these things Jesus awas walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because bthe Jews cwere seeking to kill Him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, athe Feast of Booths, was near.
3 Therefore His abrothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your bdisciples also may see Your works which You are doing.
4 “For no one does anything in secret 1when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5 For not even His abrothers were believing in Him.
6 So Jesus * said to them, “aMy time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.
7 “aThe world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that bits deeds are evil.
8 “Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because aMy time has not yet fully come.”
9 Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
10 But when His abrothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.
11 aSo the Jews bwere seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?”
12 There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; asome were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.”
13 Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for afear of the Jews.
