Porch:
porch: Chiefly in the Old Testament ‘alam, used of the temples of Solomon and Ezekiel (see TEMPLE); once micderon, a "vestibule," in Jud 3:23. In the New Testament, the word occurs in connection with the high priest's palace (Mt 26:71, pulon; Mr 14:68, proaulion), and as the rendering of stoa, a "portico," in Joh 5:2 (pool of Bethesda); and Joh 10:23; Ac 3:11; 5:12.
Porch:
See TEMPLE
Porch:
"a portico," is used
(a) of the "porches" at the pool of Bethesda, Jhn 5:2;
(b) of the covered colonnade in the Temple, called Solomon's "porch," Jhn 10:23; Act 3:11; 5:12 a portico on the eastern side of the temple; this and the other "porches" existent in the time of Christ were almost certainly due to Herod's restoration. Cp. Stoics (Act 17:18), "philosophers of the porch."
2Strong's Number: g4440Greek: pulonPorch:
akin to pule, "a gate" (Eng., "pylon"), is used of "a doorway, porch or vestibule" of a house or palace, Mat 26:71. In the parallel passage Mar 14:68, No. 3 is used, and pulon doubtless stands in Matt. 26 for proaulion.
See GATE, No. 2.
Porch:
"the exterior court" or "vestibule," between the door and the street, in the houses of well-to-do folk, Mar 14:68, "porch" (RV marg., "forecourt").
Porch:
(1.) Ulam (1 Chronicles 28:11).
(2.) Misderon ulam (Judges 3:23) strictly a vestibule, was probably a sort of veranda chamber in the works of Solomon, open in front and at the sides, but capable of being enclosed with awnings or curtains. The porch (Matthew 26:71) may have been the passage from the street into the first court of the house, in which, in eastern houses, is the mastabah or stone bench, for the porter or persons waiting, and where also the master of the house often receives visitors and transacts business.
Porch, Portico, Solomon's:
por'-ti-ko, (he stoa he kaloumene Solomontos): This important element of Herod's temple, preserving in its name a traditional connection with Solomon, is thrice referred to in the New Testament, namely, in Joh 10:23; Ac 3:11, "the porch that is called Solomon's"; and Ac 5:12. In these passages the Greek word stoa is translated "porch" but in the Revised Version margin of Ac 3:11 more correctly "portico". In architecture a "porch" is strictly an exterior structure forming a covered approach to the entrance of a building; a "portico" is an ambulatory, consisting of a roof supported by columns placed at regular intervals-a roofed colonnade. The portico bearing Solomon's name was that running along the eastern wall in the Court of the Gentiles of Herod's temple. It had double columns, while that on the South known as the Royal Portico had four rows (compare Josephus, Ant, XV, xi, 3; BJ, V, v, and see TEMPLE, HEROD'S). The portico was the scene of Christ's teaching at the Feast of the Dedication (Joh 10:23), and was flocked to by the multitude after the healing of the lame man (Ac 3:11). There the apostles preached and wrought other miracles (Ac 5:12).
