This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They beckoned (κατένευσαν)
The word originally means to nod assent, and so, generally, to make a sign. They made signs because of the distance of the other boat; hardly, as has been suggested, because they were too much amazed to speak.
Help (συλλαβέσθαι)
Lit., take hold with. Compare Phi 4:3.
Began to sink (βυθίζεσθαι)
Only here and 1Ti 6:9, of drowning men in destruction. From βυθός, the depth. Wyc., they were almost drenched.
