John 7:6-13 NIV

[6] Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. [7] The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. [8] You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.” [9] After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee. [10] However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. [11] Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?” [12] Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.” [13] But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.
