These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come — John notes the location: the treasury (perhaps the Treasury chamber of the temple where offerings were received). Again, though Jesus has made provocative claims, 'no man laid hands on him' because 'his hour was not yet come.' The repeated assurance of divine protection through timing reinforces the theological principle: Jesus's death comes not through human plot but through the Father's predetermined schedule.
