7. The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I tell about the evil things it does.
8. So you go to the feast. I will not go now. The right time for me has not yet come.”
9. After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.
10. So Jesus’ brothers left to go to the feast. When they had gone, Jesus went, too. But he did not let people see him.
11. At the feast the Jews were looking for him. They said, “Where is that man?”
12. There was a large crowd of people there. Many of them were whispering to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”Others said, “No, he fools the people.”
13. But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly. They were afraid of the Jews.
14. The feast was about half over. Then Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach.
15. The Jews were amazed. They said, “This man has never studied in school. How did he learn so much?”
16. Jesus answered, “The things I teach are not my own. My teaching comes from him who sent me.
17. If anyone chooses to do what God wants, then he will know that my teaching comes from God. He will know that this teaching is not my own.
