But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
