John 7:2-13
2 Now the feast of the Jews, athe Feast of Booths, was near. 3 Therefore His abrothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your bdisciples also may see Your works which You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself publicly to the world.” 5 For not even His abrothers were believing in Him. 6 So Jesus *said to them, “aMy time is not yet here, but your time is always here. 7 aThe world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness about it, that bits deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not yet going up to this feast because aMy time has not yet been fulfilled.” 9 Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
10 But when His abrothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as in secret. 11 aSo the Jews bwere seeking Him at the feast and saying, “Where is He?” 12 And there was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; asome were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the crowd astray.” 13 Yet no one was speaking openly about Him for afear of the Jews.
