After this Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the Jews were making efforts to kill him. But the Jewish camping festival was coming. So his brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, to let your disciples also see the things you are doing.read more.
For no one acts in secret when he desires to be publicly known. If you are going to do these things, let the world see you." For even his brothers did not believe in him. Then Jesus said to them, "It is not yet time for me to act, but any time is suitable for you. It is impossible for the world to hate you, but it does hate me for testifying that its ways are wrong. As for you, go up to the festival; I am not going up to this festival as yet, for it is not quite time for me to go." That was what he told them, and he stayed on in Galilee. But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, then Jesus went up also, not publicly, but as though he did not wish to be observed. Now the Jews were looking for him at the festival and asking where he was, and there was a great deal of muttering about him among the crowds, some saying that he was a good man, and others that he was not, but was imposing on the people. But no one spoke of him in public, for fear of the Jews.

and you have forgotten the challenge addressed to you as God's sons, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, Or give up when he corrects you. For it is those whom the Lord loves that he disciplines, And he chastises every son that he acknowledges." You must submit to it as discipline. God is dealing with you as his sons. For where is there a son whom his father does not discipline?read more.
But if you have none of that discipline which all sons undergo, you are illegitimate children, and not true sons. When our earthly fathers disciplined us we treated them with respect; should we not far more submit to the Father of our spirits, and so have life? For they disciplined us for a short time and as they thought proper, but he does it for our good, to make us share his holiness. Discipline is never pleasant at the time; it is painful; but to those who are trained by it, it afterward yields the peace of character.

For I would not have you forget, brothers, that though our forefathers were all protected by the cloud, and all passed safely through the sea, and in the cloud and the sea all, as it were, accepted baptism as followers of Moses, and all ate the same supernatural foodread more.
and drank the same supernatural drink??for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which attended them, and the rock was really Christ??5 still most of them disappointed God, for they were struck down in the desert. Now these things happened to warn us, so that we should not long for what is evil as they did. You must not become idolaters, like some of them, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance." Let us not practice immorality, like some of them, twenty-three thousand of whom fell dead in one day, Let us not try the Lord's patience too far, as some of them did, for they were killed for it by the snakes. You must not grumble, as some of them did, for they were destroyed for it by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as a warning to others, but they were written down to instruct us, in whose days the ages have reached their climax. So the man who thinks he can stand must be on his guard against a fall.
