| 34. Linguistic Exegesis The coordinating conjunction kai {Καὶ | kaí} links this clause to the preceding narrative. The aorist participle diaperasantes {διαπεράσαντες | diaperásantes} functions adverbially with a temporal value, introducing “when they had crossed over” to foreground the completed sea journey before the main verb. The verb elthon {ἦλθον | êlthon} marks the arrival event. The prepositional phrase epi tēn gēn {ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν | epí tḕn gē̂n} conveys motion toward the land, and eis Gennēsarét {εἰς Γεννησαρέτ | eis Gennēsarét} specifies the destination. English renders the participial clause as a subordinate “after” clause and combines the prepositional senses in “came to land at Gennesaret” to capture both movement and result. |
