Context of John 7:9

7The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I say that what everyone does is evil. 8Go to the festival. I’m not going to this festival right now. Now is not the right time for me to go.” After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee. 10But after his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus went. He didn’t go publicly but secretly. 11The Jews were looking for Jesus in the crowd at the festival. They kept asking, “Where is that man?”
