(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

He that was healed (ho iatheis). First aorist passive articular participle of iaomai (John’s usual word).

Who it was (tis estin). Present tense preserved in indirect question.

Had conveyed himself away (exeneusen). First aorist active indicative of ekneō, old verb to swim out, to slip out, or from ekneuō, to turn out, to turn the head to one side (to one side with which compare eneneuon, they nodded, Luk 1:62). Either of these verbs can explain the form here. The aorist tense simply states an antecedent action without being a past perfect.

A multitude being in the place (ochlou ontos en tōi topōi). Genitive absolute and the reason for Christ’s departure.
