Now (A)the Jews' Feast of (B)Booths was at hand. (C)So his brothers[a] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.

You go up to the feast. I am not[b] going up to this feast, for (J)my time has not yet fully come.” After saying this, he remained in Galilee.
