John 7:1-8 ▼

1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,

2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—

3 His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;

4 for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world”;

5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.

6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

8 You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
