Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ep’ auton {ἐπ’ αὐτόν | ep au-tón} ‘upon Him’ and the explicit object ten kheira {τὴν χεῖρα | tēn kheî-ra} ‘the hand’ form an idiom for using force or arresting someone.
“Seize” and “arrest” convey the judicial and hostile nuance of piasai {πιάσαι | pi-á-sai}, while “laid a hand” / “put a hand” reproduces the vivid idiom based on epebalen ten kheira {ἐπέβαλεν τὴν χεῖρα | e-pé-ba-len tēn kheî-ra}.
In context — John 7:30
So they were seeking to seize Him , but no one laid a hand upon Him because His hour had not yet come .
