Solomon’s Porch John 10:23 Excerpt The four sides of the temple platform (the  hierón  or “mountain of the house” ) were surrounded by colonnaded stoas, of which the eastern was known as “Solomon’s” and the southern as “Royal” (Ant.  xv.11.5 [ 411 ];  xx.9.7  [ 220 f]). Josephus apparently believed that the east portico remained from Solomon’s temple, but this is contradicted not only by the structure itself but also by Josephus’s own testimony concerning the Herodian expansion of the temple platform. It would seem, from the several Scripture references, that Jesus and later His disciples made the east portico their place of worship and teaching ( cf .  Acts 5:12 f).  More Lasor, W. S. “Jerusalem.” Ed. Geoffrey W Bromiley.  The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised  1979–1988 : 1028. Print.
