Exegesis
The improper preposition peran {πέραν | pé-ran} governs the genitive phrase tēs thalassēs {τῆς θαλάσσης | tês tha-lás-sēs}, forming the core idea “across the sea.”
This noun is further specified by two genitives in sequence, tēs Galilaias {τῆς Γαλιλαίας | tês Ga-li-lai-as} and tēs Tiberiados {τῆς Τιβεριάδος | tês Ti-be-riá-dos}, which function as appositional designations for the same body of water, one in Jewish regional terms (“of Galilee”) and the other in Roman-associated terms (“of Tiberias”). In English this stacked genitive structure is best represented by treating the second phrase as an explanatory renaming (“that is,” “also called”), thereby preserving both geographical identifiers and subtly reflecting the mixed Jewish and Gentile context that frames the ensuing sign.
