Matthew 26:55

A thief [λ η σ τ η ν]. Better Rev., a robber. See John 10:1; John 10:8; and Luke 23:39-43. It is more than a petty stealer; rather one with associates, who would require an armed band to apprehend him. Hence the propriety of the reference to swords and staves.

I sat [ε κ α θ ε ζ ο μ η ν]. The imperfect tense, denoting something habitual. I was accustomed to sit.
