When they had crossed over
This phrase marks a transition in the narrative, indicating movement and completion of a journey. The Greek word used here, "διαπεράσαντες" (diaperasantes), suggests a successful passage from one side to another, often used in the context of crossing a body of water. This crossing over can be seen as symbolic of spiritual transitions or overcoming obstacles with divine assistance. In the broader biblical narrative, crossing over water often signifies a new beginning or deliverance, reminiscent of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea.

they landed at Gennesaret
Gennesaret refers to a fertile plain on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. The name itself is derived from the Hebrew "Kinneret," which means "harp," likely referring to the shape of the lake. This area was known for its rich soil and abundant agriculture, symbolizing prosperity and God's provision. Historically, Gennesaret was a place where Jesus performed many miracles, emphasizing His power and compassion. The landing at Gennesaret signifies a return to a place of ministry and miracles, highlighting the ongoing mission of Jesus and His disciples to bring healing and teaching to the people.

(34) They came into the land of Gennesaret.--The name, possibly a corruption of the older Chinneroth (Numbers 34:11; Joshua 11:2; Joshua 12:3), belonged to the western shore of the lake to which it gave one of its titles, and included Capernaum, to which, as we learn from John 6:17; John 6:24, the disciples were steering. The region was one of singular fertility (the name has been explained as meaning the "Garden of Sharon"), and was then one of the most populous districts of Palestine.

Verses 34-36. - On landing at Gennesaret numbers come to him and are healed. Parallel passage: Mark 6:53-56, which is fuller. Verse 34. - And when they were gone over - had crossed over (Revised Version); διαπεράσαντες Matthew 9:1 - they came into the land of Gennesaret - to the land, unto Gennesaret (Revised Version, with the true text). The plain El-Ruwer, part of the northwest side of the lake, and some three miles long by one broad, extending, roughly, from Chorazin (perhaps Khan Minyeh; but comp. Matthew 11:21, note) to Magdala. (For its fertility, see Josephus, 'Wars,' 3:10.8.)
