This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the little boat (tōi ploiariōi). Locative case of ploiarion (diminutive) for the larger boat (ploion, Joh 21:3, Joh 21:6) could come no closer to shore. But the words seem interchangeable in Joh 6:17, Joh 6:19, Joh 6:21, Joh 6:22, Joh 6:24.
About two hundred cubits off (hōs apo pēchōn diakosiōn). For pēchus, cubit, see Mat 6:27 and for hōs apo see Joh 11:18.
Dragging (surontes). Present active participle of surō for which see Act 8:3.
