John 16:18

18 So they kept on repeating, ^{▼▼ Grk “they kept on saying.”} “What is the meaning of what he says, ^{▼▼ Grk “What is this that he says.”} ‘In a little while’? ^{▼▼ Grk “A little while.” Although the phrase τὸ μικρόν (to mikron) in John 16:18 could be translated simply “a little while,” it was translated “in a little while” to maintain the connection to John 16:16, where it has the latter meaning in context.} We do not understand ^{▼▼ Or “we do not know.”} what he is talking about.” ^{▼▼ Grk “what he is speaking.”}
