John 7:1-15

1After these things Jesus 1was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because 2the Jews 3were seeking to kill Him. 2Now the feast of the Jews, 4the Feast of Booths, was near. 3Therefore His 5brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your 6disciples also may see Your works which You are doing. 4For no one does anything in secret 7when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5For not even His 8brothers were believing in Him. 6So Jesus said to them, “9My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune. 710The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that 11its deeds are evil. 8Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because 12My time has not yet fully come.” 9Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.

10But when His 13brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret. 1114So the Jews 15were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?” 12There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; 16some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.” 13Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for 17fear of the Jews.

14But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to 18teach. 1519The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man 20become learned, having never been educated?”
