Porch:
porch: Chiefly in the Old Testament alam, used of the temples of Solomon and Ezekiel (see TEMPLE); once micderon, a "vestibule," in Jud 3:23. In the New Testament, the word occurs in connection with the high priest's palace (Mt 26:71, pulon; Mr 14:68, proaulion), and as the rendering of stoa, a "portico," in Joh 5:2 (pool of Bethesda); and Joh 10:23; Ac 3:11; 5:12.

Porch:
"a portico," is used
(a) of the "porches" at the pool of Bethesda, Jhn 5:2;
(b) of the covered colonnade in the Temple, called Solomon's "porch," Jhn 10:23; Act 3:11; 5:12 a portico on the eastern side of the temple; this and the other "porches" existent in the time of Christ were almost certainly due to Herod's restoration. Cp. Stoics (Act 17:18), "philosophers of the porch."

Porch:
akin to pule, "a gate" (Eng., "pylon"), is used of "a doorway, porch or vestibule" of a house or palace, Mat 26:71. In the parallel passage Mar 14:68, No. 3 is used, and pulon doubtless stands in Matt. 26 for proaulion.
See GATE, No. 2.

Porch:
"the exterior court" or "vestibule," between the door and the street, in the houses of well-to-do folk, Mar 14:68, "porch" (RV marg., "forecourt").
Porch:
(1.) Ulam (1 Chronicles 28:11).
(2.) Misderon ulam (Judges 3:23) strictly a vestibule, was probably a sort of veranda chamber in the works of Solomon, open in front and at the sides, but capable of being enclosed with awnings or curtains. The porch (Matthew 26:71) may have been the passage from the street into the first court of the house, in which, in eastern houses, is the mastabah or stone bench, for the porter or persons waiting, and where also the master of the house often receives visitors and transacts business.
