[7:1] After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee; he did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jewish authorities there were wanting to kill him.
[7:2] The time for the Festival of Shelters was near,
[7:3] so Jesus' brothers said to him, “Leave this place and go to Judea, so that your followers will see the things that you are doing.
[7:4] People don't hide what they are doing if they want to be well known. Since you are doing these things, let the whole world know about you!” (
[7:5] Not even his brothers believed in him.)
[7:6] Jesus said to them, “The right time for me has not yet come. Any time is right for you.
[7:7] The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I keep telling it that its ways are bad.
[7:8] You go on to the festival. I am not going to this festival, because the right time has not come for me.”
[7:9] He said this and then stayed on in Galilee.
