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 went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
52 for they hadn't understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Ginosar, and moored to the shore.
54 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 and ran around that whole region, and began to carry around those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.
