"For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For he wist not what to say,.... He did not know what he should say, or what was proper to be said by him, at such a time, in such
circumstances, and before such persons; for they were sore afraid. The Persic version reads, "he was": and so the Latin translation of the Syriac, though that itself is, "they were"; for all three were filled with consternation at what they saw and heard; so that they were scarcely themselves, and knew not well what they said or did.
