If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” For not even His brothers believed in Him. Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. The world cannot 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 going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” After saying this, He remained in Galilee. But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly but in private.
