John 7:8-14

⁸You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”

⁹After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.

¹¹The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, “Where is he?”

¹²There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “No, he leads the crowds astray.”

¹³Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
