Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 7:10
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.JESUS GOES UP TO THE FEASTPeople from all over Palestine were at the feast, including, no doubt, many from Galilee who had witnessed the marvels there; and, besides, it is certain that many still remembered the healing of the man at Bethesda, over a year earlier.

John 7:11-13.

Others affirmed, that he was a deceiver, who paid no regard to the divine institution.
