John 7:1-9
Wycliffe Bible
7 After these things Jesus walked into Galilee, for he would not walk into Judaea, for the Jews sought to slay him.
2 And there was nigh a feast day of the Jews, [a feast of] Tabernacles.
3 And his brethren said to him, Pass from hence [Pass hence], and go into Judaea, that also thy disciples see thy works that thou doest;
4 for no man doeth any thing in huddles, and himself seeketh to be open[a]. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For neither his brethren believed in him.
6 Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is evermore ready.
7 The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof, that the works of it be evil.
8 Go ye up to this feast day, but I shall not go up to this feast day, for my time is not yet fulfilled [full-filled].
9 When he had said these things, he dwelt in Galilee.

John 7:1-9
New Matthew Bible
Jesus comes to Jerusalem at the feast, teaches the Jews, and reproves them. There are different opinions of him among the people. The Pharisees rebuke the temple officers because they have not seized him, and chide Nicodemus for taking his part.
7 After that, Jesus went about in Galilee, and would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. 2 The Jews’ tabernacle feast was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said to him, Go on, and go into Judea, so that your disciples can see the works that you do. 4 For there is no man who does anything secretly when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do such things, show yourself to the world. 5 (For as yet his brethren did not believe in him.)
6 Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always at hand. 7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I will not go up yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come.
9 These words he said to them, and remained still in Galilee.

John 7:1-9
Authorized (King James) Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4 For 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. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. 9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
