This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

23. ἐν τ. στ. Σ.] This was a cloister or colonnade in the Temple-Courts, apparently on the east side. Tradition said that it was a part of the original building which had survived the various destructions. No such cloister is mentioned in the account of Solomon’s Temple, and perhaps the name was derived from the wall against which it was built. It is mentioned again Act 3:11; Act 5:12 as the recognised place of worship for the first disciples. Foundations still remaining may belong to it. For ἱερόν see on Joh 2:14; Joh 2:19.
