Mark 6:53

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And when they had passed over,.... The lake of Gennesaret, or sea of "Galilee",they came into the land of Gennesaret; See Gill on "Mt 14:34"; to Capernaum, as appears from 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 :and drew to the shore: this is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions: and the Arabic reads, "and they cast anchors".
