2. The Jewish Feast of Booths was near.

3. Jesus' brothers said to him, "You should leave here and go to Judea. Then your disciples will see the kinds of things you do.

4. No one who wants to be well known does things in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world."

5. Even Jesus' own brothers did not believe in him.

6. So Jesus told them, "The right time has not yet come for me. For you, any time is right.
