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] 13 However, no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jewish leaders.[h]

John 7:10-13
King James Version
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
