John 7:1–9
1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.↗
2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.↗
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.↗
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”↗
5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.↗
6Jesus therefore said to them,“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.↗
7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.↗
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”↗
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.↗
