1 After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since He did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill Him.
2 The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 so His brothers said to Him, “ Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works that You are doing.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5 (For not even His brothers believed in Him.)
6 Jesus told them, “My time has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it — that its deeds are evil.
8 Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”
9 After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
10 After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly .
11 The Jews were looking for Him at the festival and saying, “ Where is He? ”
12 And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “ He’s a good man.” Others were saying, “ No, on the contrary, He’s deceiving the people.”
13 Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.
