RSV ~ John 7 v1 - 9

Jn 7:1-9 | The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brethren

1 After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now the Jews’ feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

3 So his brethren said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing.

4 For no man works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”

5 For even his brethren did not believe in him.

6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.

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

8 Go to the feast yourselves; I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”

9 So saying, he remained in Galilee.
