Husteron marks what follows after a present moment, event, or condition.

Across the attested verses, the term marks a subsequent time: discipline yields fruit after its painful present, Peter will follow after he cannot follow now, and a revelation occurs after an earlier setting.

Senses in use

  1. What follows a present or earlier situation · dominant

    All three occurrences use the accusative singular neuter comparative form in clauses that set a later point against what is present or prior. In Hebrews 12:11 the APB renders discipline as painful for the moment but says that it later yields fruit; in John 13:36 it contrasts Peter's inability to follow now with following later; and in Mark 16:14 the APB introduces a later revelation to the eleven.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the temporal contrast with “later” in all three verses. This confirms the clauses' subsequent-time setting rather than establishing a separate English nuance.
