SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:34
¶ Y llegando al otro lado, vinieron a la tierra de Genezaret.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:34
Verse 34. The land of Gennesaret.] It was from this country that the sea or lake of Gennesaret had its name. In this district, on the western side of the lake, were the cities of Capernaum and Tiberias.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 34. And when they were gone over , etc.] That is, the sea, as Munsters Hebrew Gospel adds, the sea of Tiberias, or Galilee; they came into the land of Gennesaret ; the same with Cinnereth, or Chinnereth, or Cinnerot, ( Numbers 34:11 Deuteronomy 3:17 Joshua 11:2 12:3 13:27) ( 1 Kings 15:20) in all which places, the Chaldee paraphrase renders it by rswnyg , Ginusar, the same word that is used in Munsters Hebrew Gospel here: it was a country in Galilee, in the tribe of Naphtali f868 , bordering upon a lake, called the lake of Gennesaret; taking its name from the country, or the country from the lake: it was exceeding fruitful, full of gardens and orchards; hence we often read in the Talmud f869 , of rswng twryp , the fruits of Genusar, or Gennesaret, which are said to be exceeding sweet: and it is said to be a country in the land of Israel, in which were many gardens; and by others f871 , a place in the land of Galilee (as it was) whose fruits were large and good; and was, as Josephus says f872 , thirty furlongs long and twenty broad. And thus the saints, after a long and troublesome passage over the sea of this world, arrive, at last, safe at their desired haven, and enter upon a most delightful country, a paradise, a garden of pleasure; where all delicious fruits and desirable things are enjoyed, even pleasures for evermore; where they shall be led to fountains of living waters, into fulness of joy; where all troubles will cease, and tears will be wiped away; and when they will have leisure and capacity to reflect upon all they have met with in their dangerous, and difficult voyage; and will admire the wonderful grace of God, which has been with them; and his divine power, which has appeared for them, and supported them, and brought them safe to eternal glory; and they ascribe greatness to Christ, as the Son of God, and for ever worship him as the eternal Jehovah, who has done such great things for them, as none but God can do.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 34-36 - Whithersoever Christ went, he was doing good. They brought unto him all that were diseased. They came humbly beseeching him to help them. The experiences of others may direct and encourage us in seeking for Christ. As many as touched, were made perfectly whole. Those who Christ heals, he heals perfectly. Were men more acquainted with Christ and with the diseased state of their souls, they would flock to receiv his healing influences. The healing virtue was not in the finger, but in their faith; or rather, it was in Christ, whom their faith took holy upon __________________________________________________________________

14:34 {Gennesaret} (gennesaret). A rich plain four miles long and two broad. The first visit of Jesus apparently with the usual excitement at the cures. People were eager to touch the hem of Christ's mantle like the woman in #9:20. Jesus honored their superstitious faith and "as many as touched were made whole" (hosoi hpsanto dies"thesan), completely (di-) healed.
