‏ Luke 23:10

 Stood ( ιστηκεισαν ). Second perfect active intransitive of  ιστημ with sense of imperfect. They stood by while Herod quizzed Jesus and when he refused to answer, they broke loose with their accusations like a pack of hounds with full voice ( ευτονως, adverb from adjective  ευτονος, from  ευ, well, and  τεινω, to stretch, well tuned). Old word, but in the N.T. only here and Ac 18:28.
