1. Jesus decided to leave Judea and to start going through Galilee because the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him.
2. It was almost time for the Festival of Shelters,
3. and Jesus' brothers said to him, “Why don't you go to Judea? Then your disciples can see what you are doing.
4. No one does anything in secret, if they want others to know about them. So let the world know what you are doing!”
5. Even Jesus' own brothers had not yet become his followers.
6. Jesus answered, “My time hasn't yet come, but your time is always here.
7. The people of this world cannot hate you. They hate me, because I tell them that they do evil things.
8. Go on to the festival. My time hasn't yet come, and I am not going.”
9. Jesus said this and stayed on in Galilee.
10. After Jesus' brothers had gone to the festival, he went secretly, without telling anyone.
