On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being absolute certainty and 1 being virtual impossibility, I would rate that a 0.

Subject: [B-Greek] Walking on Water
PERIPATWN EPI THS THALASSHS Mark 6:46
I've been having a discussion with a friend who contends that Jesus is
walking "by the sea" in the above passage rather than walking "upon the
sea". I see that elsewhere St. Mark uses PARA THN THALASSAN when referring
to Jesus as walking "by the sea" to call the first disciples. I also notice
also that the disciples of Jesus KATEBHSAN EPI THN THALASSAN in John 6:16.
This seems to me to imply that the disciples went down to the very edge of
the water in order to enter the boat.
So then, my question is this... Just how plausible is "walking by the sea"
in Mark 6:46 ?
Thanks!
