After this, Jesus went around Galilee; he would not travel in Judea, because the Jews wanted to kill him.

Now the Jewish feast of the Tents was at hand.

But after his brothers had gone to the festival, he also went up, not publicly but in secret.

Jesus and the Messiah

Some of the people in Jerusalem were saying:

“Is this not the one they want to kill?

And here he is speaking freely, and they don’t say a word to him? Can it be that the rulers know that this is really the Messiah?

Yet we know where this man comes from; but when the Messiah appears, no one will know where he comes from.”

So Jesus announced loudly in the temple courtyard where he was teaching:

“You say that you know me and know where I come from! I have not come on my own; I was sent by the one who is true one, and you don’t know him.

I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”

They would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour had not yet come.
