John 7:3-10

3 ¹So his brothers^[a] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.

4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, ²show yourself to the world. ”

5 ³For not even ⁴his brothers believed in him.

6 Jesus said to them, ⁵“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

7 The world cannot hate you, but ⁶it hates me because I testify about it that ⁷its works are evil.

8 You go up to the feast. I am not^[b] going up to this feast, for ⁸my time has not yet fully come. ”

9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

10 But after ⁹his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.
