There are also three different variations of the reading in the notes. While it is possible that the reading in the text was suggested by John 6:19 ("when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia"), it is more likely that the text is original and the reading in the notes is a result of copyists changing Matthew to read like Mark 6:47.
