Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And when they had passed over,.... The lake of Gennesaret, or sea of "Galilee", they came into the land of Gennesaret; See Gill on Mat 14:34; to Capernaum, as appears from Joh 6:17 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 (h): and drew to the shore: this is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions: and the Arabic reads, "and they cast anchors". (h) De Bello Jud. l. 3. c. 35.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

The land of Gennesaret - This country lay on the coast of the sea of Galilee: it is described by Josephus as being exceedingly pleasant and fertile. It had its name of Gennesaret from גן, gen, a garden, and סר sar, a prince, either because the king had a garden there, or because of its great fertility.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

The event first recorded in these verses, is a beautiful emblem of the position of all believers, between the first and second advents of Jesus Christ. Like the disciples, we are now tossed to and fro by storms, and do not enjoy the visible presence of our Lord. Like the disciples, we shall see our Lord face to face again, though it may be a time of great extremity, when He returns. Like the disciples, we shall see all things changed for the better, when our Master comes to us. We shall no longer be buffeted by storms.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret--from which the lake sometimes takes its name, stretching along its western shore. Capernaum was their landing-place (Joh 6:24, 25). and drew to the shore--a nautical phrase, nowhere else used in the New Testament.
