John 7:2-9
New Century Version
2 It was time for the Feast of Shelters. 3 So Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You should leave here and go to Judea so your followers there can see the miracles you do. 4 Anyone who wants to be well known does not hide what he does. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 (Even Jesus’ brothers did not believe in him.)
6 Jesus said to his brothers, “The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I tell it the evil things it does. 8 So you go to the feast. I will not go yet[a] to this feast, because the right time for me has not yet come.” 9 After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.

John 7:2-9
New International Version
2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(A) was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers(B) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(C)
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(D) is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(E) because I testify that its works are evil.(F) 8 You go to the festival. I am not[a] going up to this festival, because my time(G) has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
