Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

7:30 Jesus’ opponents failed to arrest him because in God’s sovereign plan, his time, when he would be glorified on the cross, had not yet come (see study note on 12:23; see also 10:17-18; 18:6-8). All four arrest scenes in 7:1–8:59 stress that Jesus was in control, not the Jewish leaders.
