¹⁴ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He ^(A)Himself likewise shared in the same, ^(B)that through death He might destroy him who had the power of ^(C)death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵ and release those who ^(D)through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

⁵ So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

³⁸ how ^(A)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who ^(B)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, ^(C)for God was with Him.

^3 (A)His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. ⁴ For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” ⁵ For ^(B)even His ^(C)brothers did not believe in Him.

⁶ Then Jesus said to them, ^(D)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. ^7 (E)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me ^(F)because I testify of it that its works are evil. ⁸ You go up to this feast. I am not ^[a]yet going up to this feast, ^(G)for My time has not yet fully come.” ⁹ When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.

¹⁰ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
