1 | Why would Jesus change His mind? | John 7:8 | flinkywood | 48696 | ||
I visited a short, inconclusive string on the ommission of "yet" in John 7:8. The absence of "yet" in the NASB (w/o a margin note, no less) is puzzling in view of its inclusion not only in the Amplified, but in the NKJV and the NIV. I asked an old-hand Navigator who loves the NASB about this verse and he opined that perhaps Jesus had simply changed his mind. Asked whether Jesus had ever changed his mind like that anywhere else, He couldn't think of an example. Since the fullness of the Godhead dwelled in Him bodily, Jesus knew his moves miles ahead, so this ommission does not jibe with His character at all--nor would He lie. Trouble with this translation? What gives? Colin |

2 | Why would Jesus change His mind? | John 7:8 | Ray | 48729 | ||
Hi flinkywood, The marginal note that you were looking for in the NASB is in their 1977 copyright. If you look at prayon's post in another thread, you might get added insight. On both sides of the verse we read that the Jews were seeking to kill Him; verse 1 and 19. Jesus knew that the time wasn't right to show Himself to the world. He went up as it were in secret. He went up as "a good man". "Where is He?" John 7:12, "And there was much grumbling among the multitudes concerning Him; some were saying, 'He is a good man'; others were saying, 'No, on the contrary, He leads the multitude astray' Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for fear of the Jews." *Yet no one was openly speaking openly of Him [sic] for fear of the Jews. Are we today speaking openly of Him? Or are we *yet speaking of Him as just a good man? John 7:12, NKJ, "And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, 'He is good'; others said,..." Remember that only One is good. I think that the time has come for us to do our part in making Him known publicly, don't you? From the heart, Ray |
