John 7:8
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
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.
10 But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
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.
