John 7:2-13
2HoweverG1161, theG3588 JewishG3588G2453 FeastG1859 ofG3588 TabernaclesG46341 wasG1510 nearG1451. 3SoG3767 Jesus’ brothersG80 saidG2036 toG4314 HimG846, “LeaveG3327 hereG1782 andG2532 goG5217 toG1519 JudeaG2449, so thatG2443 YourG4771 disciplesG3101 there may seeG2334 the worksG2041 You are doingG4160. 4ForG1063 no oneG3762 who wantsG2212 to beG1510 known publiclyG1722G3954 actsG4160G5100 inG1722 secretG2927. SinceG1487 You are doingG4160 these thingsG3778, showG5319 YourselfG4572 to theG3588 worldG2889.” 5ForG1063 even HisG846 own brothersG80 did not believeG4100 inG1519 HimG846.
6ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 toldG3004 themG846, “AlthoughG1161 yourG5212 timeG2540 isG1510 alwaysG3842 at handG2092, MyG1699 timeG2540 has not yetG3768 comeG3918. 7TheG3588 worldG2889 cannotG3756G1410 hateG3404 youG4771, butG1161 it hatesG3404 MeG1473, becauseG3754 IG1473 testifyG3140G4012G846 thatG3754 itsG846 worksG2041 areG1510 evilG4190. 8Go upG305 toG1519 theG3588 feastG1859 on your ownG4771. IG1473 am notG37562 going upG305 toG1519 thisG3778 feastG1859, becauseG3754 MyG1699 timeG2540 has not yetG3768 comeG4137.”
Having saidG2036 this, Jesus remainedG3306 inG1722 GalileeG1056. 10ButG1161 after HisG846 brothersG80 had gone upG305 toG1519 theG3588 feastG1859, HeG846 alsoG2532 wentG305—notG3756 publiclyG5320, butG235 inG1722 secretG2927.
11SoG3767 theG3588 JewsG2453 were looking forG2212 HimG846 atG1722 theG3588 feastG1859 andG2532 askingG2036, “WhereG4226 isG1510 HeG1565?”
ManyG4183 inG1722 theG3588 crowdsG3793 wereG1510 whisperingG1112 aboutG4012 HimG846. SomeG3588 saidG2036, “He isG1510 a goodG18 man.”
ButG1161 othersG243 repliedG2036, “NoG3756G235, He deceivesG4105 theG3588 peopleG3793.”
13YetG3305 no oneG3762 would speakG2980 publiclyG3954 aboutG4012 HimG846 forG1223 fearG5401 of theG3588 JewsG2453.
