{Stood by him} (parest(8873)an aut(9369)). Second aorist active
indicative, intransitive, of parist(886d)i). Vivid picture of this
group of widows as they stood around Peter, weeping (klaiousai)
and showing (epideiknumenai, present middle as belonging to
themselves, pointing with pride to) the very inner garments
(chit(936e)as) and outer garments (himatia), like the Latin
_tunica_ and _toga_, which she made from time to time (epoiei,
imperfect active, repeated action). It was a heart-breaking
scene.
