8 So you go to the festival. I will not go now, because the right time for me has not yet come.”
9 After Jesus said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 So his brothers left to go to the festival. After they left, Jesus went too, but he did not let people see him.
11 At the festival the Jewish leaders were looking for him. They said, “Where is that man?”
12 There was a large group of people there. Many of them were talking secretly to each other about Jesus. Some people said, “He is a good man.” But others said, “No, he fools the people.”
13 But no one was brave enough to talk about him openly. They were afraid of the Jewish leaders.
14 When the festival was about half finished, Jesus went to the Temple area and began to teach.
