{He sought} (ez(8874)ei). Imperfect active. He was seeking,
conative idea. {Jesus who he was} (I(8873)oun tis estin).
Prolepsis, to see who Jesus was. He had heard so much about him.
He wanted to see which one of the crowd was Jesus. {For the
crowd} (apo tou ochlou). He was short and the crowd was thick
and close. {Stature} (	(8869) h(886c)iki(8369)). No doubt of that meaning
here and possibly so in  2:52 . Elsewhere "age" except  Lu 12:25  Mt 6:27  where it is probably "stature" also.
