In the New Testament, it is used to describe the smaller boats that were part of the daily life of fishermen and travelers on the Sea of Galilee.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Mediterranean world, boats were essential for transportation, fishing, and trade. The Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake in Israel, was a hub of fishing activity, and small boats like the "ploiarion" were commonly used by fishermen. These boats were typically made of wood and were designed to be easily maneuverable, suitable for the relatively calm waters of the lake.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>dim. of <a href="/greek/4143.htm">ploion</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a little boat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>boat (1), boats (1), little boat (1), small boat (1), small boats (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4142: πλοιάριον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πλοιάριον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πλοιαριου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (diminutive of <span class="greek2">πλοῖον</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">γυναικάριον</span></span>, at the end), <span class="accented">a small vessel, a boat</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/3-9.htm">Mark 3:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-36.htm">Mark 4:36</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-2.htm">Luke 5:2</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading; John 6:(<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 6:22>a), <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 6:22>b <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>, <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 6:23> (where <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">πλοῖα</span>), <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 6:24> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:John 21:8>.
