On the approach of the Passover what did he say to his brethren?

“Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast” (John vii, 8).

The correct reading of the last clause is, “I go not up unto the feast.” The American revisers, to their credit, urged the adoption of this reading; but the Oxford revisers retained the error. In uttering these words, Jesus, if omniscient, uttered an untruth; for John says: “But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret” (10).
