John 7:1-7 New English Translation (NET)

1. After this Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He stayed out of Judea because the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him.

2. Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.

3. So Jesus’ brothers advised him, “Leave here and go to Judea so your disciples may see your miracles that you are performing.

4. For no one who seeks to make a reputation for himself does anything in secret. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”

5. (For not even his own brothers believed in him.)

6. So Jesus replied, “My time has not yet arrived, but you are ready at any opportunity!

7. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it that its deeds are evil.
