This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8. τ. πλοιαρίῳ. In the boat, or by means of the boat. As in Joh 6:17-24, πλοῖον and πλοιάριον are both used; we are not sure whether with or without a difference of meaning. This mixture of the two words is not found in the Synoptists: excepting Mar 3:9, πλοιάριον is peculiar to S. John [13]. Ἀπό, in measuring distance, occurs only in S. John’s writings (Joh 11:18; Rev 14:20) [14]: 200 cubits would be about 100 yards.
