John 7:4

King James Version

⁴For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.

John 7:4

New English Translation

⁴For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself^[a] does anything in secret.^[b] If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

John 7:4 tn Or “seeks to be well known.”
John 7:4 sn No one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret means, in effect: “if you’re going to perform signs to authenticate yourself as Messiah, you should do them at Jerusalem.” (Jerusalem is where mainstream Jewish apocalyptic tradition held that Messiah would appear.)
