John 7:10-13

New Century Version

¹⁰ But after Jesus’ brothers had gone to the feast, Jesus went also. But he did not let people see him. ¹¹ At the feast some people were looking for him and saying, “Where is that man?”

¹² Within the large crowd there, many people were whispering to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”

Others said, “No, he fools the people.” ¹³ But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly, because they were afraid of the elders.
