{Were dwelling} ((8873)an katoikountes). Periphrastic imperfect
active indicative. Usually katoike(935c) means residence in a place
( 4:16 7:24 9:22,32 ) as in verse 14 ( Luke 13:4 ). Perhaps
some had come to Jerusalem to live while others were here only
temporarily, for the same word occurs in verse 9 of those who
dwell in Mesopotamia, etc. {Devout} (eulabeis). Reverent (eu,
well, lamban(935c), to take). See on 烊u 2:25| like Simeon waiting
for the consolation of Israel or hoping to die and be buried in
the Holy City and also Ac 8:2 .
