This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2. ὄρθρου δὲ κ.τ.λ. Comp. Luk 21:38; καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὤρθριζε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ. S. John never uses πᾶς ὁ λαός, S. Luke frequently does. S. John uses λαός only twice; it occurs more than 30 times in S. Luke, more than 20 in the Acts: καθίζειν is frequent in the Synoptists and the Acts; only twice in S. John: καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν occurs Luk 5:3. He sat to teach with authority; Mat 5:1; Mat 23:2; Mar 9:35. Ὄρθρου, ὀρθρινός, ὀρθρίζειν occur Luk 24:1; Luk 24:22; Luk 21:38; none of them in S. John, who uses πρωΐ or πρωΐας and πρωϊνός (Joh 18:33, Joh 21:4; Rev 2:28; Rev 22:16). see on Joh 7:20.
