Bible Note: Tim I usually yield you language expertise but this time I question it. The "yet" is very significant to me in this passage. If we use the ESV of this passage John 7:8 “You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come." There is no opportunity for changing of mind. Jesus hear is saying "I am not going up to this feast." But then we see he does. I think it would be in your example, your kids ask you to go to the store and you say I'm not going to that store today. That is far different than saying I don't don’t want to go. Here you could change your mind and later go. In the former it would appear you speak out of both sides of you mouth as they say. Also in this case it is an all knowing God that knew for a fact He was going to the feast later. To me it makes the word ‘yet’ imperative. EdB |
