Albert Barnes Commentary Matthew 9:1

"And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city." — Matthew 9:1 (ASV)

MATTHEW CHAPTER 9

And he entered into a ship, etc. Jesus acceded to the request of the people of Gadara, recrossed the lake of Gennesareth, and returned to his own city. By his own city is meant Capernaum (Mark 2:1), the city which was at that time his home, or where he had his dwelling; see Matthew 4:13. This same account, with some additional circumstances, is contained in Mark 2:3-12, and Luke 5:18-26.
