John 7:1-8

¹After this, Jesus spent his time going from place to place in Galilee. He did not want to do so in Judea because the Jews were out to kill him.

²But as it was almost time for the Jewish festival of the Tabernacles,

³his brothers told him, “You ought to leave and go to Judea so your followers will be able to see what miracles you can do.

⁴No one who wants to be famous keeps what they do hidden. If you can do such miracles, then show yourself to the world!”

⁵For even his own brothers really didn't believe in him.

⁶Jesus told them, “This is not my time to go, not yet; but you can go whenever you want, for any time's the right time for you.

⁷The world has no reason to hate you, but it does hate me, because I make it clear that its ways are evil.

⁸You go on to the festival. I'm not going to this festival because this is not the right time for me, not yet.”
