John 7:1-9

Revised Geneva Translation

7 After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee. For He did not wish to walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill Him.

² Now the Jews’ feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.

³ Therefore, His brothers said to Him, “Leave here, and go into Judea, so that Your disciples may see Your works that You do.

⁴ “For no one does anything secretly when seeking to be famous. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

⁵ For, as yet, His brothers did not believe in Him.

⁶ Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come. But your time is always ready.

⁷ “The world cannot hate you. But it hates Me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

⁸ “You go up to the feast. I will not go up to this feast yet. For My time is not yet fulfilled.”

⁹ He said these things to them and remained in Galilee.
