an adjective denoting “middle, in the middle or midst,” is used in the following, in which the English requires a phrase, and the adjectival rendering must be avoided: Luk 22:55<\/span>, “Peter sat in the midst of them,” lit., “a middle one of (them):” Luk 23:45<\/span>, of the rending of the veil “in the midst;” here the adjective idiomatically belongs to the verb “was rent,” and is not to be taken literally, as if it meant “the middle veil;” Joh 1:26<\/span>, “in the midst of you (standeth One),” RV (lit., “a middle One”); Act 1:18<\/span>, where the necessity of avoiding the lit. rendering is obvious. Cp. the phrases “at midday,” “at midnight” (see MIDDAY, MIDNIGHT, above). Notes: (1) Mesos is used adverbially, in prepositional phrases, (a) ana m., e.g., 1Co 6:5<\/span>, “between;” Mat 13:25<\/span>, “among;” Rev 7:17<\/span>, “in the midst;” (b) dia m., e.g., Luk 4:30<\/span>; Luk 17:11<\/span>, “through the midst;” (c) en m., Luk 10:3<\/span>, RV, “in the midst,” AV, “among;” so Luk 22:27<\/span>; 1Th 2:7<\/span>; with the article after en, e.g., Mat 14:6<\/span>, RV, “in the midst,” AV, “before;” (d) eis m., Mar 14:60<\/span>, “in the midst;” with the article, e.g., Mar 3:3<\/span>, “forth” (lit., “into the midst”); (e) ek m., “out of the way,” lit., “out of the midst,” Col 2:14<\/span>; 2Th 2:7<\/span>, where, however, removal is not necessarily in view; there is no accompanying verb signifying removal, as in each of the other occurrences of the phrases; with the article, e.g., 1Co 5:2<\/span>; 2Co 6:17<\/span>; see WAY; (f) kata m., Act 27:27<\/span>, “about mid(night).” <\/p>\n (2) The neuter, meson, is used adverbially in Mat 14:24<\/span>, in some mss., “in the midst (of the waves);” in Phi 2:15<\/span> in the best mss. (where some mss. have en m. …).
