Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) But he spake.--Literally, was speaking. This is the solution of the enigma as the disciples read it in the after history. It is remarkable that we have the interpretation of the spiritual temple in Mark 14:58 (see Note there, and comp. John 4:21; John 4:23).Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.[Jesus]Ἐκεῖνος (Ekeinos)Demonstrative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 1565: That, that one there, yonder.
