John 7:1-8 ▼

1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

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

3 His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;

4 for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:

5 for neither did his brethren believe on him.

6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.

8 Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
