John 7:1-10 ▼

1 After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.

2 The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,

3 so His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.

4 For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

5 (For not even His brothers believed in Him.)

6 Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil.

8 Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”

9 After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.

10 After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly.
