Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour — when darkness reigns — every day I was in the temple: the public presence that made arrest possible and was not used. But this is your hour (hē hōra hymōn): the appointed moment of the powers of darkness. The darkness reigns: the night of the arrest is the darkness that the light has come to overcome.
