Only Joh 18:3, where some form of 'torch' is more probably intended. The Greek is phanos, a word not found elsewhere in Biblical Greek.

(so called of its shining) occurs only in

Joh 18:3

(It there probably denotes any kind of covered light, in distinction from a simple taper or common house-light, as well as from a flambeau. Lanterns were much employed by the Romans in military operations. Two, of bronze, have been found among the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii. They are cylindrical, with translucent horn sides, the lamp within being furnished with an extinguisher. --ED.)

LANTERN. The word occurs, Joh 18:3: ???? ????? ??? ????????: "with torches and lanterns:" but both terms appear to signify torches; the former of a ruder kind than the latter, being formed of split laths bound into bundles, throwing around a strong glare of light. They came thus furnished to apprehend our Lord, lest he should escape through the darkness of the night.
