John 7:1-10 ▼

1 After this Jesus resided in Galilee: for he would not be in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him, now the

2 Jews feast of the tabernacles drawing nigh,

3 his relations said to him, retire hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples there may also see the works that you do.

4 for no body acts in private, that designs to distinguish himself: since you do such things, shew yourself to the world.

5 for even his brethren did not believe in him.

6 but Jesus said to them, my time is not yet come: but any time is equally proper for you.

7 the world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I plainly show, that their works are evil.

8 do you go up to this feast, as for me I do not go with you to it, because my time is not yet accomplished.

9 thus he delivered his mind, and stay'd himself in Galilee.

10 but when his brethren were gone, he went likewise to the feast, not openly, but in secret.
