Hi, everyone.
The second half of John 5:13 reads "hO DE GAR IHSOUS EXENEUSEN OCLOU ONTOS EN TWi TOPWi.
Does this mean that Jesus withdrew from the crowd that was at that place, or withdrew into the crowd, or withdrew because of the crowd.
The last one seems most likely to me for if I translate it literally it reads something like - for Jesus withdrew, a crowd being in the place-. The reason I was questioning it is the genitive case of OCLOU ONTOS.
Thank you
