rwp @John:5:3 @{In these } (\en tautais \). In these five porches . {Lay } (\katekeito \). Imperfect middle of \katakeimai \, to lie down , singular number because \pl ˆthos \ (multitude ) is a collective substantive . {Withered } (\x ˆr “n \). Old adjective \x ˆros \ for dry , wasted as the hand (Matthew:12:10 |). The oldest and best manuscripts omit what the Textus Receptus adds here "waiting for the moving of the water " (\ekdechomenon t ˆn tou hudatos kin ˆsin \), a Western and Syrian addition to throw light on the word \tarachth ˆi \ (is troubled ) in verse 7 |.
