John 7:10-12

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus[a] himself also went up, not openly but in secret. 11 So the Jewish leaders[b] were looking for him at the feast, asking, “Where is he?”[c] 12 There was[d] a lot of grumbling[e] about him among the crowds.[f] Some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others, “He deceives the common people.”[g]
