John 7:2

Read in context

John 7:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

2 However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

3 So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

4 For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
