Jesus rejected his younger brothers’ suggestion that he go immediately to Jerusalem.

John 7:1-9

7 After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee province. He did not want to travel in Judea province, because he knew that the Jewish leaders there were wanting to kill him. 2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration called ‘Celebration of Living in Shelters’ was near, 3 Jesus’ younger brothers said to him, “Since many people here have left you, you should leave and go to Judea province and perform some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them! 4 No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. You say you are doing these miracles, so do some miracles there so that everyone [MTY] can see them!” 5 They said this critically, because even though they were his own younger brothers, they did not believe he was from God. 6 So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] to go to the celebration. For you, any time is right to go to the celebration. 7 The people [MTY] who ◄do not believe in me/do not belong to God► cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil. 8 You (pl) go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up to Jerusalem to the celebration yet, because now is not the right time for me to go.” 9 After he said that, Jesus stayed a little longer in Galilee.
