John 7:30-31

Context

7:30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, 1  but no one laid a hand on him, because his time 2  had not yet come. 7:31 Yet many of the crowd 3  believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ 4  comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?” 5

[7:30]  1 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:30]  2 tn Grk “his hour.”

[7:31]  3 tn Or “The common people” (as opposed to the religious authorities).

[7:31]  4 tn Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).

[7:31]  5 tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “will he?”).
