John 7:1-13 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And after this יהושע was walking in Galil, for He did not wish to walk in Yehuḏah, because the Yehuḏim were seeking to kill Him.

2. And the festival of the Yehuḏim was near, the Festival of Booths.

3. So His brothers said to Him, ‘Get away from here and go into Yehuḏah, so that Your taught ones also see the works that You are doing.

4. “For no one acts in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these works, show Yourself to the world.”

5. For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

6. יהושע therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7. “It is impossible for the world to hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness of it, that its works are wicked.

8. “You go up to this festival. I am not yet going up to this festival, for My time has not yet been filled.”

9. And having said this to them, He stayed in Galil.

10. But when His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.

11. The Yehuḏim, therefore, were seeking Him at the festival, and said, “Where is He?”

12. And there was much grumbling about Him among the crowd. Some were saying, “He is good,” but others were saying, “No, but He is leading the crowd astray.”

13. However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Yehuḏim.
