²¹ When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, "He is insane."

²⁴ As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!"

²⁰ Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"

³¹ His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.

³ His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

⁴ For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

⁵ For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

⁶ Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷ The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

⁹ Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰ But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.

¹¹ Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? why came this mad fellow to you? He said to them, You know the man and what his talk was.

²⁶ Yahweh has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of Yahweh, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.

⁷ The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, And the man who is inspired to be insane, Because of the abundance of your sins, And because your hostility is great.
