ἠνάγκασεν : a strong word needing an explanation not here given, supplied in John 6:15. Of course there was no physical compulsion, but there must have been urgency on Christ's part, and unwillingness on the part of disciples. Fritzsche objects to special emphasis, and renders: “auctor fuit discipulis, ut navem conscenderent”. ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ, subjunctive, here used where optative would be used in classic Greek. Cf. Matthew 18:30, and vide Burton, § 324.
