Alternate translation: “a white stone jar”

Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
ἀνακειμένου
reclining
In Jesus’ culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. See how you translated the similar phrase in 9:10. Alternate translation: “he sitting down to eat” or “he eating”
