{Early in the morning} (orthrou). Genitive of time,
orthros meaning daybreak, old word, not in John, though in Lu
24:1 Ac 5:21 . John uses pr(9369) ( 18:28 20:1 21:4 ). {He came
again into the temple} (palin paregeneto eis to hieron). If the
paragraph is genuine, the time is the next day after the eighth
and last day of the feast. If not genuine, there is no way of
telling the time of this apparently true incident. {And all the
people came unto him} (kai p(8373) ho laos (8872)cheto pros auton).
Imperfect middle of erchomai picturing the enthusiasm of the
whole (pas) crowd now as opposed to the divisions in chapter 7.
{Taught} (edidasken). Imperfect active of didask(935c). He took
his seat (kathisas, ingressive active participle of kathiz(935c))
as was customary for Jesus and began to teach (inchoative
imperfect). So the picture.
