John 6:10

Sit down [α ν α π ε σ ε ι ν]. Literally, recline.

Grass [χ ο ρ τ ο ς]. Originally an enclosure. Thus Homer speaks of Peleus offering a sacrifice, aujlhv ejn cortw, in the enclosure of the court (" Iliad, " 11, 774). Hence a feeding - place, and so grass, provender. The sense is merely that of our abstract pasture. Matthew and Mark mention the grass, Mark with the epithet green. Wyc., hay.
