Strong's Lexicon ploion: Ship, boat, vessel Original Word: πλοῖον Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: ploion Pronunciation: ploy'-on Phonetic Spelling: (ploy'-on) Definition: a ship, vessel, boat. Meaning: A vessel or ship, typically used for transportation across water. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πλέω (pléō), meaning "to sail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H591: אֳנִיָּה (oniyah) • A ship or vessel, used in the Old Testament to describe large sea-going ships. • H5600: סְפִינָה (sephinah) • A ship, particularly in the context of Jonah's story, where Jonah boards a ship to flee from God's command. These Hebrew terms, like πλοῖον, reflect the significance of ships in biblical narratives, serving as instruments of both divine intervention and human endeavor. Usage: The term πλοῖον is used in the New Testament to refer to various types of boats or ships, often in the context of travel, fishing, or teaching. It appears frequently in the Gospels and Acts, highlighting the significance of maritime activity in the ancient world. Context: The Greek word πλοῖον (ploíon) is a common term in the New Testament, appearing in various contexts that reflect the maritime culture of the time. In the Gospels, πλοῖον is often associated with the ministry of Jesus and His disciples, many of whom were fishermen by trade. For instance, in Matthew 4:21, Jesus calls James and John while they are in a boat with their father, mending nets. The boat serves as a setting for several of Jesus' teachings and miracles, such as calming the storm (Matthew 8:23-27) and walking on water (Matthew 14:22-33). In the Book of Acts, πλοῖον is used to describe the vessels that facilitated the spread of the early Christian message across the Mediterranean. Notably, in Acts 27, Paul’s journey to Rome involves a dramatic shipwreck, illustrating the perils of ancient sea travel and the providence of God in safeguarding His servants. The use of πλοῖον underscores the importance of boats in the daily life and economy of the regions surrounding the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean. It also highlights the role of maritime travel in the expansion of the early Church, as apostles and missionaries traversed great distances to spread the Gospel.
