John 7:3-10

The Message Bible MSG

3 His brothers said, "Why don't you leave here and go up to the Feast so your disciples can get a good look at the works you do?

4 No one who intends to be publicly known does everything behind the scenes. If you're serious about what you are doing, come out in the open and show the world."

5 His brothers were pushing him like this because they didn't believe in him either.

6 Jesus came back at them, "Don't crowd me. This isn't my time. It's your time - it's always your time; you have nothing to lose.

7 The world has nothing against you, but it's up in arms against me. It's against me because I expose the evil behind its pretensions.

8 You go ahead, go up to the Feast. Don't wait for me. I'm not ready. It's not the right time for me."

9 He said this and stayed on in Galilee.

10 But later, after his family had gone up to the Feast, he also went. But he kept out of the way, careful not to draw attention to himself.

New International Version NIV

3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.

4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.

6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.

8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”

9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.

10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
