A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 14:34

"And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret." — Matthew 14:34 (ASV)

Gennesaret (Γεννησαρετ). 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 honoured their superstitious faith and "as many as touched were made whole" (οσο ηψαντο διεσωθεσαν), completely (δι-) healed.
