John 7:5-25

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.

¹⁰And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

²³if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
