1. After this, Jesus moved about within Galilee; but he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him.
2. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
3. So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.
4. No one works in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.”
5. For his brothers did not believe in him.
6. So Jesus said to them, “My time is not yet here, but the time is always right for you.
7. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify to it that its works are evil.
8. You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”
9. After he had said this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but [as it were] in secret.
11. The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12. And there was considerable murmuring about him in the crowds. Some said, “He is a good man,” [while] others said, “No; on the contrary, he misleads the crowd.”
13. Still, no one spoke openly about him because they were afraid of the Jews.
14. When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple area and began to teach.
15. The Jews were amazed and said, “How does he know scripture without having studied?”
16. Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not my own but is from the one who sent me.
17. Whoever chooses to do his will shall know whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.
