John 7:1-13

¹After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

²Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

³His brethren therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

⁴For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

⁵(For neither did his brethren believe in him.)

⁶Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.

⁸Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come.

⁹When he had said these words to them, he abode still in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

¹²And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceiveth the people.

¹³Yet, no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
