Jesus’ Brothers Do Not Believe in Him
1 And after these [things] Jesus was going about in Galilee. For he did not want to go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2
Now the feast of the Jews--the [feast of] Tabernacles--was near.
3
So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also can see your works that you are doing.
4
For no one does anything in secret and [yet] he himself desires to be {publicly recognized}. If you are doing these [things], reveal yourself to the world!"
5
(For not even his brothers believed in him.)
Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles
6 So Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.
8
You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time is not yet completed.
