{Were standing} (hist(886b)eisan). Past perfect active of
hist(886d)i intransitive and used like an imperfect as in  Joh
19:25 . {Round about} (kukl(9369)). Preposition (in a circle) with
genitive as in  4:6  5:11 . The angels here rejoice in the
salvation of men ( Lu 15:7,10  1Pe 1:12 ). {Upon their faces}
(epi ta pros(9370)a aut(936e)). In reverential worship of God as in
 11:16 . For this worship (fell and worshipped) see also  4:10  5:14  11:16  19:4,10  22:8 . The dative 	(9369) the(9369) (God) with
proskune(935c) (to worship) is the usual construction for that
meaning. When it means merely to do homage the accusative case is
usual in this book (Charles). But in the Fourth Gospel the
reverse order is true as to the cases with proskune(935c) (Abbott,
_Joh. Vocab_. pp. 138-142).
