7 ¹ AFTERWARDS JESUS went about in Galilee. He wished to avoid Judaea because the Jews were looking for a chance to kill him. 7 ² As the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was close at hand, 7 ³ his brothers said to him, 'You should leave this district and go into Judaea, so that your disciples there may see the great things you are doing. 7 ⁴ Surely no one can hope to be in the public eye if he works in seclusion. If you really are doing such things as these, show yourself to the world.' 7 ⁵ For even his brothers were not believers in him. 7 ⁶ Jesus said to them, 'The right time for me has not yet come, but any time is right for you. 7 ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me for exposing the wickedness of its ways. 7 ⁸ Go to the festival yourselves. I am not going up to this festival because the right time for me has not yet come.' 7 ⁹ With this answer he stayed behind in Galilee.
