Exegesis
The pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | autòn} ‘him’ refers to Jesus, and the particle hos {ὡς | hṓs} ‘just as’ plus the imperfect ên {ἦν | ên} ‘He was’ in hos ên en tō ploíō {ὡς ἦν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ | hṓs ên en tō ploíō} preserves the sense of immediate, unchanged boarding.
The phrase en tō ploíō {ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ | en tō ploíō} situates Jesus inside a specific vessel, shifting the narrative from shore to sea.
