John 7: 1 – 13

¹After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. ²Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. ³And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. ⁴For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. ⁵For neither did his brethren believe in him. ⁶Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. ⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil. ⁸Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished. ⁹When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. ¹⁰But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. ¹¹The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he? ¹²And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people. ¹³Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
