Is this right?

Quote from Sky&Telescope website:

"Mercury is about 8 light-minutes distant, Venus is about 12 light-minutes
away, and Saturn is 85 light-minutes from us. Jupiter is 45 light-minutes
distant."

Surely that can't be correct about Venus?
Light from Venus should reach us before light from Mercury?
