John 7:7

Jesus At The Feast Of Tabernacles

⁶ So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come; but any time is right for you. ⁷ The world cannot hate you [since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil. ⁸ Go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.”
