John 7:3-10

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.
9 And [when he] had said these [things], he remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but (as it were) in secret.
