Exegesis
The construction heis ēn ek tōn anakeimenōn {εἷς ἦν ἐκ τῶν ἀνακειμένων | heîs ēn ek tōn a-na-kei-me-nōn} literally means ‘was one from those reclining’, a partitive phrase where ek {ἐκ | ek} with the genitive names the larger group and heis {εἷς | heîs} singles Lazarus out as a representative member.
