AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. And a feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.

For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world. For even his own brethren did not believe on him. Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived. Thus speaking to them then, he continued in Galilee. But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment. The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people. Yet no person spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, "My son, count not lightly of the Lord's childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke: for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." If ye patiently endure correction, God carries himself towards you as his children: for who is the son whom the father doth not correct?read more.
If then ye are without correction, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not children. If then we have had the fathers of our flesh for correctors, and reverenced them; shall we not much more be under subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? For they indeed for a few days as seemed proper to themselves corrected us; but he for our own advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now all correction at the moment seemeth not to be cause for joy, but for sorrow; but after a while it produceth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have thereby been disciplined.
BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat;read more.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ. Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness. Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted. Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves." Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
