7 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. ² Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. ³ His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest. ⁴ For no man doeth anything in secret, ^[a]and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world. ⁵ For even his brethren did not believe on him. ⁶ Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready. ⁷ The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil. ⁸ Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up ^[b]unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled. ⁹ And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
