    In John 7:14, the present active participle in the genitive singular feminine occurs with the festival; the clause places it at its middle point. The APB renders the verse, "Already then the festival was in the middle, Jesus ascended toward the sacred and was teaching."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In John 7:14, the APB presents the festival as "in the middle." This wording confirms the clause's overall temporal setting rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
