John 7:2-13

2Now the feast of the Jews, 1the Feast of Booths, was near. 3So His 2brothers said to Him, “Move on from here and go into Judea, so that Your 3disciples also may see Your works which You are doing. 4For no one does anything in secret 4when he himself is striving to be known publicly. If You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5For not even His 5brothers believed in Him. 6So Jesus said to them, “6My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready. 77The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify about it, that 8its deeds are evil. 8Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, because 9My time has not yet fully arrived.” 9Now having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.

10But when His 10brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as though in secret. 1111So the Jews 12were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is He?” 12And there was a great deal of talk about Him in secret among the crowds: 13some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He is misleading the people.” 13However, no one was speaking openly about Him, for 14fear of 15the Jews.
