The Unbelief of Jesus' Brothers
1 After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.
2
The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3
so His brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.
4
For no one does anything in secret while he's seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
5
(For not even His brothers believed in Him.)
6
Jesus told them, "My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.
7
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it-that its deeds are evil.
8
Go up to the festival yourselves. I'm not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come."
9
After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
