{He that was healed} (ho iatheis). First aorist passive
articular participle of iaomai (John's usual word). {Who it
was} ( is estin). Present tense preserved in indirect question.
{Had conveyed himself away} (exeneusen). First aorist active
indicative of ekne(935c), old verb to swim out, to slip out, or from
ekneu(935c), to turn out, to turn the head to one side (to one side
with which compare eneneuon, they nodded, Lu 1:62 ). Either of
these verbs can explain the form here. The aorist tense simply
states an antecedent action without being a pastperfect. {A
multitude being in the place} (ochlou ontos en t(9369) top(9369)).
Genitive absolute and the reason for Christ's departure.
