'Stands' in the Bible

John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
