Exegesis
The destination eis to ploion {εἰς τὸ πλοῖον | eis to ploion} and the temporal frame en ekeine te nykti {ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ νυκτὶ | en e-keí-nē tē núk-ti} locate the action precisely, while epiasan ouden {ἐπίασαν οὐδέν | e-pí-a-san ou-dén} closes the verse with emphatic total failure. English is therefore rendered with natural past narration that preserves the Greek sequence, the intent structure, and the force of the final negation.
