John 7:6-16

6 Jesus said to his brothers, "The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I tell it the evil things it does.
8 So you go to the feast. I will not go yet to this feast, because the right time for me has not yet come."
9 After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.
10 But after Jesus' brothers had gone to the feast, Jesus went also. But he did not let people see him.
11 At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, "Where is that man?"
12 Within the large crowd there, many people were whispering to each other about Jesus. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "No, he fools the people."
13 But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly, because they were afraid of the Jews.
14 When the feast was about half over, Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach.
15 The Jews were amazed and said, "This man has never studied in school. How did he learn so much?"
16 Jesus answered, "The things I teach are not my own, but they come from him who sent me.
