The Greek numeral for two hundred, appearing eight times in the New Testament always as a straightforward quantity. It surfaces in memorable contexts: the cost of bread to feed the five thousand is reckoned at 200 denarii (Mark 6:37, John 6:7), the distance from shore when the disciples haul in their great catch is about 200 cubits (John 21:8), and Paul's Roman military escort includes 200 soldiers and 200 spearmen (Acts 23:23). The consistent rendering across languages — Spanish 'doscientos,' French 'deux cents,' German 'zweihundert' — confirms there is nothing idiomatic here, just a precise number.
