John 7:5-15

Listen to John 7:5-15

5 His brothers said this because even they didn't believe in him.

6 Jesus replied, " For you, anytime is fine. But my time hasn't come yet.

7 The world can't hate you. It hates me, though, because I testify that its works are evil.

8 You go up to the festival. I'm not going to this one because my time hasn't yet come."

9 Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 However, after his brothers left for the festival, he went too—not openly but in secret.

13 No one spoke about him publicly, though, for fear of the Jewish authorities.

14 Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the temple and started to teach.

15 Astonished, the Jewish leaders asked, "He's never been taught! How has he mastered the Law?"
