  Hall
     (Gr. aule, Luke 22:55; R.V., "court"), the open court or
     quadrangle belonging to the high priest's house. In Matt. 26:69
     and Mark 14:66 this word is incorrectly rendered "palace" in the
     Authorized Version, but correctly "court" in the Revised
     Version. In John 10:1,16 it means a "sheep-fold." In Matt. 27:27
     and Mark 15:16 (A.V., "common hall;" R.V., "palace") it refers
     to the proetorium or residence of the Roman governor at
     Jerusalem. The "porch" in Matt. 26:71 is the entrance-hall or
     passage leading into the central court, which is open to the
     sky.
