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, or it may have been a corridor, connecting the principal rooms of the house. Matthew 16:71.
