The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brothers

After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee,(A) since He did not want to travel in Judea(B) because the Jews(C) were trying to kill Him.(D) The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles[a][b](E) was near, so His brothers(F) said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works(G) that You are doing. For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” (For not even His brothers believed in Him.)

Jesus told them, “My time(H) has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand. The world cannot hate(I) you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil. Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet,[c] because My time has not yet fully come.” After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
