John 7:3-10

3 and Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles!

4 You can’t become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, show yourself to the world!”

5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

6 Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime.

7 The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.

8 You go on. I’m not going to this festival, because my time has not yet come.”

9 After saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee.

10 But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.
