Imperfect active of περιπατεω peripateō to walk around, picturesque imperfect. In Solomon‘s porch A covered colonnade or portico in which people could walk in all weather. See Acts 3:11; Acts 5:12 for this porch. This particular part of Solomon‘s temple was left uninjured by the Babylonians and survived apparently till the destruction of the temple by Titus a.d. 70 (Josephus, Ant. XX. 9, 7). When John wrote, it was, of course, gone. [source]
See on Luke 15:15; and Luke 10:11; and Acts 5:12. [source]
A concert of voices as already seen by the word in Acts 1:14; Acts 2:46 and later in Acts 5:12; Acts 7:57; Acts 15:25. [source]
The first of the visions to be so described (Revelation 13:3; Revelation 15:1), and it is introduced by ωπτη ōphthē as in Revelation 11:19; Revelation 12:3, not by μετα ταυτο meta tauto or by ειδον eidon or by ειδον και ιδου eidon kai idou as heretofore. This “sign” is really a τερας teras (wonder), as it is so by association in Matthew 24:24; John 4:48; Acts 2:22; Acts 5:12. The element of wonder is not in the word σημειον sēmeion as in τερας teras but often in the thing itself as in Luke 21:11; John 9:16; Revelation 13:13.; Revelation 15:1; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:20.
