eukairos describes action or readiness suited to the occasion, whether pursuing a moment or remaining prepared regardless of season.

The two verses show action in relation to an occasion: seeking a suitable moment for delivery in Mark 14:11 and readiness for proclamation "in season and out of season" in 2 Timothy 4:2.

Senses in use

  1. Suited to the occasion or season · dominant

    In Mark 14:11, the adverb occurs with seeking how to deliver someone, and the APB renders the clause "he was seeking how he might deliver him at an opportune moment." In 2 Timothy 4:2, it stands in the command to be ready; the APB renders "be ready in season and out of season," placing readiness against changing circumstances.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through "at an opportune moment" in Mark 14:11 and through "in season" within "in season and out of season" in 2 Timothy 4:2. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
