Exegesis
The narrative then presents the scene with heistekei ho Iesous {εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς | heistḗkei ho Iēsous} “Jesus was standing,” using a pluperfect form with present-like force to depict a stative posture of Jesus already in place before His proclamation, with ho Iesous as the marked subject.
In context — John 7:37
On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty , let him come to Me and let him drink.”
