John 7:10
8 Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
9 Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
