The Gospel of John is a book of mysteries. One that is particularly difficult to apprehend is seen in John 7:39. There, according to the Greek, the apostle says, “The Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”
Nearly all translations of the Bible add a word or two to this verse. Most often it is translated, “The Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” Sometimes it is translated, “The Spirit was not yet received ” or “not yet experienced.” It is very rarely translated according to the literal Greek. Of the numerous English translations of the Bible, I have found only four that render this verse literally.
