Exegesis
This is immediately qualified by the prepositional phrase para ten thalassan tes Galilaias {παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας | parà tḕn thá-las-san tês Ga-li-la-í-as}, indicating location “beside the Sea of Galilee,” with the genitive tes Galilaias specifying which sea.
In context — Mark 1:16
