John 7:1-9

Jesus And His Brothers John 7:1-9 (NLT) After this, Jesus stayed in Galilee, going from village to village. He wanted to stay out of Judea where the Jewish leaders were planning his death. But soon it was time for the Festival of Shelters, and Jesus' brothers urged him to go to Judea for the celebration. "Go where your followers can see you miracles!" You can't become a public figure if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, prove it to the world. For even his brothers didn't believe in him. Jesus replied, "Now is not the right time for me to go. But you can go anytime, and it will make no difference. The world can't hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of sin and evil. You go on. I am not yet ready to go to this festival, because my time has not yet come." So Jesus remained in Galilee. (Thought) In these verses we see two things going on. First, Jesus had brothers. Second, Jesus' brothers didn't believe in him.
