Yohanes 7:6
Konteks7:6 So Jesus replied, 1 “My time 2 has not yet arrived, 3 but you are ready at any opportunity! 4
Yohanes 7:8
Konteks7:8 You go up 5 to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast 6 because my time 7 has not yet fully arrived.” 8
Yohanes 7:30
Konteks7:30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, 9 but no one laid a hand on him, because his time 10 had not yet come.
[7:6] 1 tn Grk “Then Jesus said to them.”
[7:6] 2 tn Or “my opportunity.”
[7:6] 3 tn Or “is not yet here.”
[7:6] 4 tn Grk “your time is always ready.”
[7:8] 5 sn One always speaks of “going up” to Jerusalem in Jewish idiom, even though in western thought it is more common to speak of south as “down” (Jerusalem lies south of Galilee). The reason for the idiom is that Jerusalem was identified with Mount Zion in the OT, so that altitude was the issue.
[7:8] 6 tc Most
[7:8] 7 tn Although the word is καιρός (kairos) here, it parallels John’s use of ὥρα (Jwra) elsewhere as a reference to the time appointed for Jesus by the Father – the time of his return to the Father, characterized by his death, resurrection, and ascension (glorification). In the Johannine literature, synonyms are often interchanged for no apparent reason other than stylistic variation.
[7:8] 8 tn Or “my time has not yet come to an end” (a possible hint of Jesus’ death at Jerusalem); Grk “my time is not yet fulfilled.”
[7:30] 9 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[7:30] sn Here the response is on the part of the crowd, who tried to seize Jesus. This is apparently distinct from the attempted arrest by the authorities mentioned in 7:32.
