Mark 6:53 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:53

And when they had passed over
The lake of Gennesaret, or sea of "Galilee",

they came into the land of Gennesaret; (See Gill on Matthew 14:34); to Capernaum, as appears from ( John 6:17 John 6:24 ) for Capernaum was in the land of Gennesaret; to which agrees what Josephus says, that the land of Gennesaret was watered with a very excellent spring, which the inhabitants of that place called Capernaum ^F8:

and drew to the shore:
this is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions: and the Arabic reads, "and they cast anchors".

Mark 6:53 In-Context

51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. They were completely astounded,

52 for they did not understand about the loaves; on the contrary, their hearts had been made stone-like.

53 After they had made the crossing, they landed at Ginosar and anchored.

54 As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized him

55 and began running around throughout that whole region and bringing sick people on their stretchers to any place where they heard he was.
