Jesus and His Brothers Before the Feast

John 7:1-10

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judæa, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.

For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

For even his brethren did not believe on him.

Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.

And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
