οὐδέ G3764
Not yet; denoting something anticipated but not yet realized or experienced.
A temporal-negation adverb indicating that a state or event has not yet come to pass but is expected. John's Gospel uses it pointedly: the Spirit had 'not yet' been given because Jesus was not yet glorified (John 7:39), and the disciples did 'not yet' understand the Scripture about the resurrection (John 20:9). In John 19:41 it describes a tomb where 'no one had yet been laid.' Acts 8:16 notes the Spirit had 'not yet' fallen on the Samaritans. French splits between 'pas encore' (not yet) and 'jamais' (never), revealing an interpretive ambiguity, while Spanish consistently uses 'todavía no.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — Not yet — indicating that an expected event or state has not been realized up to the present moment. In John 7:39 the Spirit had 'not yet' been given, creating theological suspense about glorification. John 20:9 uses it of the disciples' understanding, and John 19:41 of the unused tomb. German 'noch nicht' and Spanish 'todavía no' both preserve the temporal expectation embedded in the adverb—what has not happened yet is nonetheless anticipated. French 'jamais' in some renderings hints at a stronger negation, but the core meaning remains temporal incompleteness. 4×
