Contextual Overview

45 And, straightway, constrained he his disciples to enter into the boat, and be going forward to the other side, unto Bethsaida, - while, he, was dismissing the multitude. 46 And, bidding them farewell, he departed into the mountain to pray. 47 And, when, evening, came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and, he alone, on the land. 48 And, seeing them distressed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, - and was wishing to pass by them. 49 But, they, seeing him, upon the sea, walking, supposed that it was an apparition, and cried out aloud; 50 for, all, saw him, and were troubled. But, he, straightway, talked with them, and saith unto them - Take courage! it is, I - be not afraid! 51 And he went up unto them, into the boat, - and the wind lulled. And, exceedingly, within themselves, were they astonished; 52 for they understood not by the loaves, - but their, heart, had been, hardened. 53 And crossing over unto the land, they came unto Gennesaret, and cast anchor near. 54 And, when they had, come forth, out of the boat, straightway, recognizing him,

the land: Matthew 14:34-36, Luke 5:1, John 6:24

Reciprocal: Joshua 19:35 - Chinnereth Mark 1:21 - Capernaum

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they had passed over,.... The lake of Gennesaret, or sea of "Galilee",

they came into the land of Gennesaret; :-; to Capernaum, as appears from John 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-36.

Mark 6:52

They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.

Their heart was hardened - Their “mind” was dull to perceive it. This does not mean that they were “opposed” to Jesus, or that they had what we denominate “hardness of heart,” but simply that they were slow to perceive his power. They did not quickly learn, as they ought to have done, that he had all power, and could therefore allay the storm. The word “heart” is frequently used in this sense. See Ephesians 1:18, in Greek; Romans 1:21; Romans 2:15; 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Mark 6:54

They knew him - They “recollected” Jesus, because he had been there before and worked miracles.

Mark 6:56

The border of his garment - Compare the notes at Matthew 9:20.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 6:53. 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.
