John 7:30

30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, ^{▼▼ Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} ^{▼▼ 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.} but no one laid a hand on him, because his time ^{▼▼ Grk “his hour.”} had not yet come.
