7:14 When the feast was half over, Jesus went up to the temple courts 1 and began to teach. 2
1 tn Grk “to the temple.”
2 tn Or “started teaching.” An ingressive sense for the imperfect verb (“began to teach” or “started teaching”) fits well here, since the context implies that Jesus did not start his teaching at the beginning of the festival, but began when it was about half over.
