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.
