John 7:1-8 ▼

1 And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was near.

3 Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

4 For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself publicly to the world.”

5 For not even His brothers were believing in Him.

6 So Jesus said to them, “My time is not yet here, but your time is always here.

7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness about it, that its deeds are evil.

8 Go up to the feast yourselves; I am not yet going up to this feast because My time has not yet been fulfilled.”
