John:7:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After these things ,
Jesus was walking in Galilee ,
for he wouldn '
t walk in Judea ,
because the Jews sought to kill him .
*
Now the feast of the Jews ,
the Feast of Booths ,
was at hand .
*
His brothers therefore said to him , "
Depart from here ,
and go into Judea ,
that your disciples also may see your works which you do .
*
For no one does anything in secret ,
and himself seeks to be known openly .
If you do these things ,
reveal yourself to the world ."
*
For even his brothers didn '
t believe in him .
*
Jesus therefore said to them , "
My time has not yet come ,
but your time is always ready .
*
The world can '
t hate you ,
but it hates me ,
because I testify about it ,
that its works are evil .
*
You go up to the feast .
I am not yet going up to this feast ,
because my time is not yet fulfilled ."
*
Having said these things to them ,
he stayed in Galilee .
*
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast ,
then he also went up ,
not publicly ,
but as it were in secret .
*
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast ,
and said , "
Where is he ?"
*
There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him .
Some said , "
He is a good man ."
Others said , "
Not so ,
but he leads the multitude astray ."
*
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews .
