7After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because some evil people there wanted to kill him. ²It was time for the Feast of Shelters. ³So Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You should leave here and go to Judea so your followers there can see the miracles you do. ⁴Anyone who wants to be well known does not hide what he does. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” ⁵(Even Jesus’ brothers did not believe in him.)

⁶Jesus said to his brothers, “The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you. ⁷The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I tell it the evil things it does. ⁸So you go to the feast. I will not go yet ⁿ to this feast, because the right time for me has not yet come.” ⁹After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰But after Jesus’ brothers had gone to the feast, Jesus went also. But he did not let people see him. ¹¹At the feast some people were looking for him and saying, “Where is that man?”

¹²Within the large crowd there, many people were whispering to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”

Others said, “No, he fools the people.” ¹³But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly, because they were afraid of the elders.
