John 7:1-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.
