-Luke 24:4 states, "two men stood by them".  The obvious reading of the English is that the two were standing, that is, that the ordinary Greek verb "to stand" is used.  That can be checked using Strong's Numbers, with a surprising result.  Incidentally, the four accounts of the discovery of the Saviour's resurrection are discussed at the wikiChristian page "[[Resurrection of Jesus - Wenham's harmony of the four accounts of the first Easter Sunday]]".

 The printed book is available from booksellers.  It is arranged as a Concordance, that is, an alphabetical list of the words in the English Bible.  For each English word, each occurrence is listed in order of its Bible reference and is labelled with the Strong's Number of the original Greek or Hebrew word.  At the end of the book is the list of Strong's definitions of the Greek and Hebrew Strong's Number word-stems.

 Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" gives a page of the BibleHub website, which shows that 2186 is a composite verb "epHistemi", that is, "to uponStand".  Compare the English verb "to underStand", which, in modern usage, does not relate to standing.
-Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" also gives a page of the BibleTools website, which shows that 2186 is used only 21 times, almost always in Luke or Acts, and its first instance is Luke 2:9, "the angel of the Lord came upon them".  The last instance in the Gospel of Luke is the current verse.

 Strong's Numbers enable people who do not know Greek or Hebrew to understand the meaning of words in the Bible.
-The American Professor James Strong, 1822-1894, allocated a unique number to each word stem in the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament.  For example, if Strong's system had been applied to English, then "go" and "went" would have the same Strong's Number, because they are parts of the same verb - but "came" would have a separate number.  Just to confirm, Strong's Numbers apply to Greek and Hebrew, not to English.
