SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:53
Y cuando llegaron al otro lado, vinieron a tierra de Genezaret, y tomaron puerto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 6:53
Verse 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 g , gen, a garden, and ro sar, a prince, either because the king had a garden there, or because of its great fertility.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 53. And when they had passed over , etc..] The lake of Gennesaret, or sea of Galilee, they came into the land of Gennesaret ; (see Gill on Matthew 14:34); to Capernaum, as appears from ( John 6:17,24) 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 f128 : and drew to the shore : this is omitted in the Syriac and Persic versions: and the Arabic reads, and they cast anchors.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 45-56 - The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and no comforted: we may have Christ for us, yet wind and tide against us; but it is a comfort to Christ's disciples in a storm, that their Master is in the heavenly mount, interceding for them. And no difficulties can hinder Christ's appearance for his people, when the set time is come He silenced their fears, by making himself known to them. Our fears ar soon satisfied, if our mistakes are set right, especially our mistake as to Christ. Let the disciples have their Master with them, and all is well. It is for want of rightly understanding Christ's former works that we view his present works as if there never were the like before If Christ's ministers now could cure people's bodily diseases, what multitudes would flock after them! It is sad to think how much mor most care about their bodies than about their souls __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
53. Drew to the shore (proswrmisqhsan). Peculiar to Mark. Rev., moored to the shore, though the meaning may be near the shore. jAnebh, he went up (verse 51), seems to indicate a vessel of considerable size, standing quite high out of the water. They may have anchored off shore.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:53 {And moored to the shore} (kai proswrmisqesan). Only here in the New Testament, though an old Greek verb and occurring in the papyri. hormos is roadstead or anchorage. They cast anchor or lashed the boat to a post on shore. It was at the plain of Gennesaret several miles south of beqsaida owing to the night wind.
