Only here in N.T. Here also we have the only N.T. use of \naus\ for ship (from \na, ne\, to swim) so common in ancient Greek. Our word navy is from this word through the Latin. {Struck} (\ereisasa\).

The prow was stuck in the sand-bar, and the stern was breaking to pieces by the opposing waves lashing on both sides. It was a critical moment.

rwp@Mark:5:14 @{And in the country} (\kai eis tous agrous\). Mark adds this to "the city." In the fields and in the city as the excited men ran they told the tale of the destruction of the hogs. They came to see (\lthon idein\). All the city came out (Matthew), they went out to see (Luke).

rwp@Mark:6:36 @{Into the country and villages round about} (\eis tous kukli agrous kai kmas\). The fields (\agrous\) were the scattered farms (Latin, _villae_). The villages (\kmas\) may have included Bethsaida Julias not far away (Luke:9:10|). The other Bethsaida was on the Western side of the lake (Mark:6:45|). {Somewhat to eat} (\ti phagsin\).

rwp@Matthew:27:7 @{The potter's field} (\tou agrou tou kerames\). Grotius suggests that it was a small field where potter's clay was obtained, like a brickyard (Broadus). Otherwise we do not know why the name exists. In strkjv@Acts:1:18| we have another account of the death of Judas by bursting open (possibly falling after hanging himself) after he obtained the field by the wages of iniquity. But it is possible that \ektsato\ there refers to the rabbinical use of _Korban_, that the money was still that of Judas though he was dead and so he really "acquired" the field by his blood-money.
