After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee. For He did not wish to walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Now the Jews’ feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.

Therefore, His brothers said to Him, “Leave here, and go into Judea, so that Your disciples may see Your works that You do.

“For no one does anything secretly when seeking to be famous. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

For, as yet, His brothers did not believe in Him.

Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come. But your time is always ready.

“The world cannot hate you. But it hates Me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

“You go up to the feast. I will not go up to this feast yet. For My time is not yet fulfilled.”

He said these things to them and remained in Galilee.

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles

After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, Jesus’ brothers(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(E)

Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) has not yet fully come.” After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
