6727. 'And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would happen to him' means the Church's truth far away from there, and observation. This is clear from the meaning of 'sister' as rational truth, dealt with in 1495, 2508, 2524, 2556, 3160, 3386, thus the Church's truth, for this is rational truth; and from the meaning of 'to know what would happen' as observation.
