“And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.”
But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, just a hundred yards off — the other disciples row slowly, securing the catch (a practice-oriented approach), while Peter swims. The specificity ('a hundred yards') indicates eyewitness detail and emphasizes proximity—the risen Jesus is near the disciples even before they recognize him. The image of disciples laboriously bringing the netful of fish suggests the missional work they will undertake.
