John:7:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee ,
for he did not want to walk in Judea ,
because the Jews sought to kill him .
*
Now the feast of the Jews ,
the feast of tabernacles ,
was near .
*
His brothers therefore said to him ,
Depart from here ,
and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do .
*
For no man does anything in secret ,
and he himself seeks to be in public .
If thou do these things ,
show thyself to the world .
*
For not even his brothers believed in him .
*
Jesus therefore says to them ,
My time is not yet here ,
but your time is always ready .
*
The world cannot hate you ,
but it hates me because I testify about it ,
that its works are evil .
*
Go ye up to this feast .
I am not yet going to this feast ,
because my time is not yet fulfilled .
*
And having said these things to them ,
he remained in Galilee .
*
But when his brothers went up ,
then he also went up to the feast ,
not openly ,
but as in private .
*
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast ,
and said ,
Where is that man ?
*
And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him .
Some said ,
He is a good man ,
others said ,
No ,
but he leads the multitude astray .
*
Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews .
