This Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to convey a sense of something having occurred or being true at the present time. Usage: ἤδη is used in the New Testament to indicate that an action or state has been completed or is currently in effect. It often emphasizes the immediacy or current reality of a situation. Context: The Greek adverb ἤδη appears frequently in the New Testament, underscoring the immediacy or present reality of an event or condition. It is used to highlight that something has occurred by a specific time or is currently true. For example, in John 4:35, Jesus uses ἤδη to emphasize the readiness of the harvest: "Do you not say, 'There are still four months until the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest." Here, ἤδη underscores the present readiness of the fields, urging the disciples to recognize the current opportunity.
