{In these} (en tautais). In these five porches. {Lay}
(katekeito). Imperfect middle of katakeimai, to lie down,
singular number because pl(8874)hos (multitude) is a collective
substantive. {Withered} (x(8872)(936e)). Old adjective x(8872)os for dry,
wasted as the hand ( Mt 12:10 ). The oldest and best manuscripts
omit what the Textus Receptus adds here "waiting for the moving
of the water" (ekdechomenon t(886e) tou hudatos kin(8873)in), a Western
and Syrian addition to throw light on the word arachth(8869) (is
troubled) in verse 7 .
