Exegesis
The verse begins with the article-cum-conjunction sequence ho de {ὁ δὲ | ho dè} to resume focus on Jesus, introduced by the aorist indicative eipen “he said.” The direct command Elthe “come” serves as the narrative pivot. The participle katabas “coming down” establishes temporal context, marking Peter’s departure from the vessel, specified by the genitive phrase apo tou ploiou. The main verb periepatēsen with epi ta hydata employs epi with the accusative to indicate movement onto the water’s surface. The coordinating kai links the second aorist indicative ēlthen, producing a sequential chain culminating in Peter’s approach. The final pros ton Iēsoun phrase denotes directed movement toward Jesus. The translation renders the participle as a temporal clause and retains the past-tense narration to preserve narrative flow and emphasize the unfolding miracle.
