Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
This entire verse is a Western non-interpolation. This incident is given in complete form in John 18:2-10 and most of the words in this verse are there also. It is of a piece with many items in this chapter about which it is not easy to reach a final conclusion.
Stooping and looking in (parakuyav). First aorist active participle of parakuptw, to stoop besides and peer into. Old verb used also in John 20:5, John 20:11; James 1:25; I Peter 1:12.
By themselves (mona). Without the body.
To his home (prov auton). Literally, "to himself."
