Exegesis
The clause kai oudeis epiasen auton {καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν | kaí oudeís epí-a-sen autón} introduces a narrative turn, with kai functioning almost contrastively: despite His public presence and bold teaching, no one seized Him.
In context — John 8:20
He spoke these words in the treasury while teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him because His hour had not yet come.
