John:7:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 Jews '
Feast of Tabernacles was at hand .
*
His brothers therefore said to Him , "
Depart from here and go into Judea ,
that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing .
*
For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly .
If You do these things ,
show Yourself to the world ."
*
For even His brothers did not believe in Him .
*
Then Jesus said to them , "
My time has not yet come ,
but your time is always ready .
*
The world cannot hate you ,
but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil .
*
You go up to this feast .
I am not yet going up to this feast ,
for My time has not yet fully come ."
*
When He had said these things to them ,
He remained in Galilee .
*
But when His brothers had gone up ,
then He also went up to the feast ,
not openly ,
but as it were in secret .
*
Then the Jews sought Him at the feast ,
and said , "
Where is He ?"
*
And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him .
Some said , "
He is good ";
others said , "
No ,
on the contrary ,
He deceives the people ."
*
However ,
no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews .
