Mark 6:54 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:54

And when they were come out of the ship
Christ and his disciples, and were ashore,

straightway they knew him;
that is, the men of that place, as in Mt. 14:35, (See Gill on Matthew 14:35); and so the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read here, "the inhabitants of that country", the country of Gennesaret; they knew him, having seen and heard him before.

Mark 6:54 In-Context

52 because they had not understood the real meaning of the feeding of the five thousand; their minds could not grasp it.

53 They crossed the lake and came to land at Gennesaret, where they tied up the boat.

54 As they left the boat, people recognized Jesus at once.

55 So they ran throughout the whole region; and wherever they heard he was, they brought to him the sick lying on their mats.

56 And everywhere Jesus went, to villages, towns, or farms, people would take their sick to the marketplaces and beg him to let the sick at least touch the edge of his cloak. And all who touched it were made well.
