John 7:1-10

Tree of Life Version

Anticipating Hostility at Sukkot

7 After these events, Yeshua was walking about in the Galilee. He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Judean leaders wanted to kill Him. ² Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles^[a] was near. ³ Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so Your disciples also may see the works You are doing. ⁴ No one who wants to be well known does everything in secret. If You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world!” ⁵ For not even His brothers were trusting in Him.

⁶ Therefore Yeshua said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always at hand. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify that its works are evil. ⁸ You go on up to the Feast. I’m not going to this feast, because My time hasn’t yet fully come.” ⁹ After saying these things, He stayed in the Galilee.

¹⁰ But after His brothers went to the Feast, He also went, not openly but secretly.
