1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
2
But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3
Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.
4
No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
5
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6
Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
7
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
8
You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
