John 7:1-10

1 After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking an opportunity to kill Him.

2 But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching.

3 So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.

4 For no one acts in secret, desiring all the while to be himself known publicly. Since you are doing these things, show yourself openly to the world."

5 For even His brothers were not believers in Him.

6 "My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any time is suitable.

7 It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.

8 As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come."

9 Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.

10 When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately.
