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 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.

56 Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the tzitzit of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
