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!
