New Testament

John 7:2-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

3. His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You do.

4. For no one does anything in secret, while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, reveal Yourself to the world.”

5. For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

6. Therefore Jesus told them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always fitting.

7. The world cannot hate you. But it hates Me, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.

8. You go up to this feast. I am not going up to this feast yet, because My time has not yet fully come.”

9. Having said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

10. However, after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly, but secretly.

11. Then the Jews looked for Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”

12. There was much complaining among the people concerning Him. For some said, “He is a good Man.”Others said, “No, He deceives the people.”

13. Yet no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

14. Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.

15. The Jews marveled, saying, “How has this Man become educated, having never been taught?”
