hôs de a-NE-bê-san hoi a-del-PHOI au-TOU eis tên he-or-TÊN TO-te kai au-TOS a-NE-bê ou pha-ne-RÔS al-LA hôs en kry-PTÔI
Exegesis
The phrase ou phanerōs alla hos en kruptō {οὐ φανερῶς ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐν κρυπτῷ | ou phanerōs all᾽ hōs en kruptō} consists of a negated adverb phanerōs “openly” contrasted with an adverbial expression “as in secret.” The strong negation ou and the adversative all᾽ together heighten the contrast between public and hidden movement. The comparative particle hos before en kruptō adds a nuance of “as if,” indicating that the secrecy is a manner of appearance rather than a formal disguise. In translation, this structure is mirrored by keeping the temporal subordinate clause first, followed by the main clause marked by “then” or “after,” and by preserving the contrastive pattern “not openly but as in secret” to reflect the Greek emphasis on Jesus’ discreet approach to the feast.
