Albert Barnes Commentary Matthew 14:34-36

"And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret. And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick, and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole." — Matthew 14:34-36 (ASV)

Land of Gennesaret. This region was in Galilee, on the west side of the sea of Tiberias; and in this land was situated Capernaum, to which he had directed his disciples to go.

The hem of his garment. That is, the fringe or border on the outer garment. (See Barnes on Matthew 9:20).
