I. 3); so the Latintempus est, Cicero, Tusc. 1, 41, 99; ad Attic 10, 8). Owing to the context ὥρα sometimes denotes the fatal hour, the hour of death: [Mat 26:45]; [Mar 14:35], [Mar 14:41]; [Joh 12:27]; [Joh 16:4] (here L Tr WH read ἡ ὥρα αὐτῶν i. e. the time when these predictions are fulfilled); ; ἡ ὥρα τίνος, 'one's hour', i. e. the time when one must undergo the destiny appointed him by God: so of Christ, [Joh 7:30]; [Joh 8:20], cf. [Joh 16:21]. (On the omission of the word see ἐξαυτῆς (ἀφ' ἧς? cf., p. 58b top), Winers Grammar, § 64, 5, under the word; Buttmann, 82 (71); on the omission of the article with it (e. g. [1Jo 2:18]), see Winers Grammar, § 19, under the word).
