John 7:1-8 ▼

1 And after this Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the feast of tabernacles, a feast of the Jews, was near.

3 Then his brothers said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples may see your works which you do;

4 for no one does any thing in secret, while he himself seeks to be before the public. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

5 For neither did his brothers believe on him.

6 Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

7 The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

8 Do you go up to this feast. I go not up now to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.
