{Jesus perceived} (egn(9320)I(8873)ous). Second aorist active
indicative of gin(9373)k(935c). {That they were desirous to ask him}
(hoti (8874)helon auton er(9374)(8369)n). Imperfect active tense of 	hel(935c)
in indirect discourse instead of the retention of the present
	helousin (the usual idiom), just like our English. Their
embarrassment was manifest after four inquiries already (Peter,
Thomas, Philip, Judas). So Jesus takes the initiative.
