John 7:1-9

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.
