And they did so, and made them all sit down.] The disciples did not dispute the case any longer with Christ, but obeyed his orders, and ranged the multitude in companies, a hundred in one, and fifty in another; and ordered them to sit down in their distinct companies and ranks upon the green grass. The Arabic and Ethiopic versions read, “and they all sat down”; and so it is read in some copies of the Vulgate Latin version.
