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 did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

53 And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennes'aret, and moored to the shore.

54 And when they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

55 and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was.

56 And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.
