However, similar concepts of measurement and distance can be found in Hebrew terms such as אמה (amah, Strong's 520) for "cubit" and ריס (ris, a Greek loanword in some contexts, though not directly in the Hebrew Bible). Usage: The term "stadion" is used in the New Testament to denote a specific measure of distance, often in the context of travel or measurement. It is also used metaphorically to describe a race or course. Context: The term "stadion" appears in several New Testament passages, primarily in the context of describing distances. In John 6:19, the disciples are described as having rowed "about three or four miles" (literally "twenty-five or thirty stadia") when they saw Jesus walking on the sea. Similarly, in Luke 24:13, the distance from Jerusalem to Emmaus is described as "sixty stadia." These references highlight the use of "stadion" as a unit of measurement in the ancient world, providing a sense of scale and distance in the narrative.
