John 7:1-8 ▼

1 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 So His brothers said to Him, “Move on from 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 is striving to be known publicly. If You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”

5 For not even His brothers believed in Him.

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

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

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