Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
He sought (ezhtei). Imperfect active. He was seeking, conative idea.
Jesus who he was (Ihsoun tiv estin). Prolepsis, to see who Jesus was. He had heard so much about him. He wanted to see which one of the crowd was Jesus.
For the crowd (apo tou oxlou). He was short and the crowd was thick and close.
Stature (th hlikiai). No doubt of that meaning here and possibly so in Luke 2:52. Elsewhere "age" except Luke 12:25; Matthew 6:27 where it is probably "stature" also.
