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 had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.

53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.

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

55 and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.

56 And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
