2Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3Therefore His brothers told Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples will see the works that You are doing, too.
4Nobody does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5For even His brothers didn’t believe in Him.
6Then Jesus told them, “My time hasn’t yet come, but your time is always right.
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
8Go up to this feast yourselves. I’m not going up to this feast, yet, for my time hasn’t yet fully come.”
9Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
10When His brothers had gone up to the feast, however, Jesus also went up, not publicly, but in secret.
11The Jews were looking for Him at the feast, and saying, “Where is He?”
12There was much complaining among the people about Him. Some said, “He is good,” but others said, “No, He deceives the people.”
13No one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
14About the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
15The Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16Jesus answered, “My teaching isn’t mine, but His who sent me.
