John 6:7

Two hundred pennyworth of bread (diakosiwn dhnariwn artoi). "Loaves of two hundred denarii." The Roman coin originally for ten asses (afterwards sixteen), about 16 2/3 cents. The denarius was the usual pay for a day's labour (Matthew 20:2, Matthew 20:9, Matthew 20:13). This item in Mark 6:37, but not in Matthew or Luke.

That every one may take a little (ina ekastov braxu labh). Final clause with ina and second aorist active subjunctive of lambanw. This detail in John alone.
