1. Jesus later traveled throughout Galilee. He didn’t want to travel in Judea because Jews there wanted to kill him.
2. The time for the Jewish Festival of Booths was near.
3. So Jesus’ brothers told him, “Leave this place, and go to Judea so that your disciples can see the things that you’re doing.
4. No one does things secretly when he wants to be known publicly. If you do these things, you should let the world see you.”
5. Even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6. Jesus told them, “Now is not the right time for me to go. Any time is right for you.
7. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I say that what everyone does is evil.
8. Go to the festival. I’m not going to this festival right now. Now is not the right time for me to go.”
9. After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.
10. But after his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus went. He didn’t go publicly but secretly.
