ἄρτι

Matthew 3:15 ἄρτι· now;

“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

Here: "For now," "at this moment." It hints that John's sense of the right order (he is the lesser) is not wrong, only that it must wait; for the present, this is what God's plan calls for.

Matthew 9:18 ἄρτι presently

While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”

Here: The death is minutes or hours old. In this culture burial normally came the same day, so time is short.

Matthew 11:12 ἄρτι now

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

Here: The present moment of Jesus' speaking. What is described is still going on.

Matthew 23:39 ἄρτι now

For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Here: 'From now on' marks a turning point. Matthew uses the same phrase at 26:29 (the Last Supper) and 26:64 (before the high priest) for decisive moments in his story.

Matthew 26:29 ἄρτι now

I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Here: "From this moment." Matthew uses this phrase to mark a decisive turning point (compare 23:39; 26:64). The wording implies Jesus had been drinking at this meal and is now stopping.

Matthew 26:53 ἄρτι presently

Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?

Here: 'Right now', immediately. No delay and no build-up would be needed; the heavenly army could be there before the arrest was finished.

Matthew 26:64 ἄρτι now

“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Here: Together with ἀπό: 'from this moment on.' What they will see begins now, at this trial, not only at some distant date.

John 2:10 ἄρτι. now.

and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”

Here: "Right now", this very moment. The verse closes on it, and it echoes John's theme of a decisive time arriving (compare v. 4, "my hour has not yet come").

John 5:17 ἄρτι now

But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”

Here: The present moment, this very Sabbath on which the healing happened. It takes Genesis 2:2 ('God rested') head on: God's rest has not meant that he stopped acting.

John 9:19 ἄρτι;¶ presently

and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”

Here: Placed last for emphasis: 'now'. It sets up the contrast the healed man repeats in v25: 'though I was blind, now (arti) I see.'

John 9:25 ἄρτι now

He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

Here: "Now, at this moment, just now". It stresses how new and immediate the change is: today, after a lifetime.

John 13:7 ἄρτι, presently,

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

Here: "Right now, at this point." The word stresses the present moment and implies it will change. John uses it the same way in 13:33, 13:37 and 16:12 ("you cannot bear them *now*").

John 13:19 ἄρτι now

I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.

Here: Marks this moment at the supper, with Judas still at the table, as the point where Jesus starts telling them what is about to happen.

John 13:33 ἄρτι.¶ now.

Little children, I am with you only a little while longer. You will look for Me, and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you: ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

Here: 'Now, at this moment'. It falls last for weight. It marks the timing of the saying, and in context it hints that the 'cannot' belongs to the present moment. Jesus makes that explicit in 13:36: 'you cannot follow me now, but you will follow afterward'.

John 13:37 ἄρτι; presently?

“Lord,” said Peter, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.”

Here: Peter's word for "now" answers Jesus' "now" (nyn) and "later" (hysteron) in v.36. Peter refuses the delay. John uses the same "now vs. afterward" pattern in 13:7.

John 14:7 ἄρτι now

If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Here: 'This very moment'. In the Farewell Discourse (13:19, 13:33) it marks the hour of Jesus' going to the Father, which has now arrived.

John 16:12 ἄρτι. now.

I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.

Here: Last in the sentence, so it carries weight. It means "at this moment" and points ahead to the change in the next verse: "But when he comes, the Spirit of truth…"

John 16:24 ἄρτι now

Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

Here: The present moment, the night before the crucifixion. 'Until now' implies that a new period is about to begin.

John 16:31 ἄρτι Now

“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.

Here: It comes first in the sentence for emphasis. It echoes the disciples' own "now" (nyn, v. 29–30) and points to this exact moment, with an implied contrast to the hour just about to arrive (v. 32): "Right now you believe… but an hour is coming."

1 Corinthians 4:11 ἄρτι present

To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.

Here: Used like an adjective, 'the now-hour', meaning this very moment as Paul writes. It is picked up again at the end of v.13 ('until now'), so the 'now' frames the whole list.

1 Corinthians 4:13 ἄρτι. now.

when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

1 Corinthians 8:7 ἄρτι now

But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.

Here: 'Until now'. Their conversion has not yet erased the old feel of things. Most likely it goes with 'habituation' ('accustomed until now'). The KJV attaches it to 'eat' instead.

1 Corinthians 13:12 ἄρτι ἄρτι presently

Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Here: 'Right now, in this present age.' It sets up the 'now … then' contrast that structures the whole verse.

1 Corinthians 15:6 ἄρτι, now,

After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 16:7 ἄρτι now

For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

Galatians 1:9 ἄρτι now

As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!

Here: This moment of writing, set against the earlier occasion. Paul picks the same word up again in 1:10 ('Am I *now* trying to win people over?'): the harshness of this curse is his proof that he is not a crowd-pleaser.

Galatians 1:10 ἄρτι Presently

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Here: Picks up the 'now' of verse 9 ('so now I say again… let him be under a curse'). Paul points at what he has just said: does a man who has just pronounced a double curse sound like someone angling for approval?

Galatians 4:20 ἄρτι presently

how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you.

1 Thessalonians 3:6 ἄρτι Presently

But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.

Here: Points to the very recent past: Timothy has only just arrived. It implies Paul is writing almost at once, while the relief is fresh.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 ἄρτι at present

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

Here: 'At present.' It matches the 'now' of verse 6. The restraint is in force now but will not last.

1 Peter 1:6 ἄρτι, at present,

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in various trials

Here: 'At present'. It sets the current season of grief against the 'last time' when salvation is revealed (v.5).

1 Peter 1:8 ἄρτι now [though]

Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy,

Here: 'Right now.' The word implies that this not-seeing will not last. A time of seeing is coming at 'the revelation of Jesus Christ' (v. 7).

1 John 2:9 ἄρτι. now.

If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.

Here: "This very moment." Together, "until now" means that although the true light is "already" shining (2:8), this person has not moved. He is still where he always was.

Revelation 12:10 ἄρτι Now

And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down—he who accuses them day and night before our God.

Here: 'Right now, at this moment.' It ties the arrival of God's victory to the event just narrated, the expulsion that follows the child being caught up to God (v. 5).

Revelation 14:13 ἄρτι. now.

And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”

Here: 'From now on.' It marks a turning point: from this stage of the final conflict, death in the Lord is declared a blessing. Which words it belongs with is debated.
