In Koine Greek, the perfect tense of verbs of state often carries a present meaning, indicating a continuing state resulting from a past action. Thus, 'estēken' means 'he/she/it stands' or 'he/she/it has taken a stand and continues to stand'. It describes a state of being in a standing position or a firm, established position.
