The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it-that its deeds are evil.

Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come."

After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
Jesus at the Festival of Tabernacles
10 After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly.
11
The Jews were looking for Him at the festival and saying, "Where is He?"
12
And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, "He's a good man." Others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He's deceiving the people."
13
Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.
14
When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex and began to teach.
15
Then the Jews were amazed and said, "How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn't been trained?"
16
Jesus answered them, "My teaching isn't Mine but is from the One who sent Me.
17
If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.
