{In the midst of you standeth} (mesos hum(936e) st(886b)ei).
Adjective as in  19:18 , not en mes(9369) hum(936e). Present active
indicative of late verb st(886b)(935c) from perfect stem hest(886b)a. John
had already baptized Jesus and recognized him as the Messiah.
{Whom ye know not} (hon humeis ouk oidate). This was the
tragedy of the situation ( 1:11 ). Apparently this startling
declaration excited no further inquiry from the committee.
