3his brothers said to him, “Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
4For no one does a thing privately, if they are seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.”
5For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6“My time,” answered Jesus, “is not come yet, but your time is always here.
7The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
8Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.”
9After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up — not publicly, but privately.
11The authorities were looking for him at the Festival and asking ‘Where is he?’;
12and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying ‘He is a good man;’ others, ‘No! He is leading the people astray.’
13No one, however, spoke freely about him, because they were afraid of the authorities.
14About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
