John 7:1-13

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee,  since he did not want to travel in Judea  because the Jews  were trying to kill him.  The Jewish Festival of Shelters  , was near. So his brothers  said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples can see your works  that you are doing. For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” (For not even his brothers believed in him.) Jesus told them, “My time   has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand. The world cannot hate   you, but it does hate me because I testify about it #— #that its works are evil. Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to this festival,   because my time has not yet fully come.” After he had said these things, he stayed in Galilee. After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not openly but secretly. The Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, “Where is he? ” And there was a lot of murmuring 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.” Still, nobody was talking publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
