John 7:1-13
1 |
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him. |
2 |
Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. |
3 |
His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. |
4 |
For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world. |
5 |
For even His brothers did not believe in Him. |
6 |
Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. |
7 |
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. |
8 |
You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come. |
9 |
When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee. |
10 |
But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. |
11 |
Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?" |
12 |
And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people." |
13 |
However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews. |
