And sitting down they watched him there;
And sitting down they watched him there;
and they sat and watched him there.
And they were seated there watching him.
And sitting down, they watched him there:
and they sat and watched him there.
and they sat and watched him there.
They watched him - To prevent his disciples or relatives from taking away the body or affording any relief to the sufferer.
They watched him there - That is, the four soldiers who had crucified him. They watched him lest his friends should come and release him.
