John 7:1-13

¹After these things Jesus walked into Galilee, for he would not walk into Judea, for the Jews sought to slay him.

²And there was nigh a feast day of the Jews, Scenopegia, that is, a feast of tabernacles.

³And his brethren said to him, Pass from hence, and go into Judea, that also thy disciples see thy works that thou doest;

⁴for no man doeth anything in huddles, and himself seeketh to be open, +or forsooth no man doeth anything in hid place, or privy, and he seeketh to be in open. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

⁵For neither his brethren believed in him.

⁶Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is evermore ready.

⁷The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof, that the works of it be evil.

⁸Go ye up to this feast day, but I shall not go up to this feast day, for my time is not yet fulfilled or full-filled.

⁹When he had said these things, he dwelt in Galilee.

¹⁰And after that his brethren were gone up, then he went up to the feast day, not openly, but as in private.

¹¹Therefore the Jews sought him in the feast day, and said, Where is he?

¹²And much grutching was of him among the people. For some said, That he is good; and others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the people;

¹³nevertheless no man spake openly of him, for dread of the Jews.
