the porch		Jhn 10:23; Act 3:11; Act 5:12
an hundred and twenty		"As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits, 120 seems too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac, Arabic, and the LXX. in the codex Alexandrinus, have only twenty, probably reading, instead of maiah weesrim, ""one hundred and twenty,"" ammoth esrim, ""twenty cubits;"" which brings it within the proportion of the other measures."
