John 7:1-9

¹And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

²and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

³his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

⁴for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;'

⁵for not even were his brethren believing in him.

⁶Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁷the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁸Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'

⁹and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
