καὶ ἐστάθησαν σκυθρωποί. אB.

17. ἀντιβάλλετε. Literally, “cast to and fro.” Compare “discussed a doubt, and tossed it to and fro.” Tennyson.

σκυθρωποί. Matthew 6:16. The true reading seems to be ‘and they stood still’ (ἐστάθησαν, אAB, and some ancient versions; ἔστησαν, L), ‘looking sad.’ They stopped short, displeased at the unwelcome, and possibly perilous, intrusion of a stranger into their conversation.
