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 understood not of the loaves; for their heart was blinded.

53 And when they were passed over the sea, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and setted to land. [And when they had passed over the sea, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and set to land.]

54 And when they were gone out of the boat, at once [anon] they knew him.

55 And they ran through all that country, and began to bring sick men in beds on each side, where they heard that he was. [And they running through all that country, began to bear about in beds them that had evil, where they heard him to be.]

56 And whither ever he entered into villages, or into towns, or into cities, they set sick men in streets, and prayed him, that they should touch namely the hem of his cloak [+they put sick men in streets, and prayed him, that they should touch namely the hem of his cloth]; and how many that touched him, were made safe.
