7:39(Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given,106 because Jesus was not yet glorified.)107
Footnotes
- 106 Grk “for the Spirit was not yet.” Although only B and a handful of other NT supply the participle δεδομένον (dedomenon), this is followed in the translation to avoid misunderstanding by the modern English reader that prior to this time the Spirit did not exist. John’s phrase is expressed from a human standpoint and has nothing to do with the preexistence of the third Person of the Godhead. The meaning is that the era of the Holy Spirit had not yet arrived; the Spirit was not as yet at work in a way he later would be because Jesus had not yet returned to his Father. Cf. also Acts 19:2.
- 107 This is a parenthetical note by the author.
