John 7:9-13

9Having said these things to them, He stayed behind in Galilee.

10But [afterward], when His brothers had gone up to the feast, He went up too, not publicly [with a caravan], but quietly [because He did not want to be noticed].

11So the Jews kept looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”

12There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].”

13Yet no one was speaking out openly and freely about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.
