马太福音 14:34 CUVS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 14:34-36

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 the notes at Matthew 9:20.1. We learn from this chapter the power of conscience, Matthew 14:1-4. Herod’s guilt was the only reason why he thought John the Baptist had risen. At another time he would altogether have disbelieved it.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 14:34

Matthew 14:34. They came into the land of Gennesaret A large tract of ground on the western shore of the lake, in a part of which Capernaum appears from hence to have been situated. For though Matthew and Mark speak only of their coming to the land of Gennesaret and putting to shore there, (see Mark 6:53,) it is plain from John’s account that Jesus, at his landing, came to Capernaum, for it was there the people found him that followed him in the morning from the other side of the sea. See... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:22-36

66. Jesus walks on the sea (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21)On seeing Jesus’ miracle with the bread and fish, many wanted to make him king immediately. This no doubt would have pleased many of Jesus’ followers, but for him it presented a possible temptation. He therefore sent his disciples to Bethsaida, while he escaped into the hills where he could be alone and pray (Matthew 14:22-23; Mark 6:45-46; John 6:15).Bethsaida was not far from the place where Jesus had fed the five... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 14:34

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.In this section, it has been noted that Christ was rejected at Nazareth; John's martyrdom caused Christ to leave Herod's territory; the multitude at Bethsaida had tried to make him king;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 14:34

Matthew 14:34. They came into the land of Gennesaret— The land of Gennesaret was a large tract of ground on the western shore of the lake, in part of which Capernaum appears to have been situated; for though St. Matthew and St. Mark only speak of their coming to the land of Gennesaret, and putting to shore there, (See Mark 6:53.) it is plain from St. John's account, that Jesus, at his landing, came to Capernaum; for it was there the people found him, who followed in the morning to the other... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 14:34-36

3. The public ministry at Gennesaret 14:34-36 (cf. Mark 6:53-56)This short section summarizes Jesus’ public ministry at this stage of His ministry. It shows that even though Jesus was withdrawing from unbelievers (Matthew 13:54 to Matthew 14:12) and giving special attention to the training of His disciples (Matthew 14:13-33), He still had time to minister to people who were in need.Gennesaret was a plain on the northwest coast of the Sea of Galilee. There was also a village called Gennesaret on... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 14:34

(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. read more

Matthew 14:4 It is an hard condition that the necessity of our calling casts upon us, in some cases, to run upon the pikes of displeasure Prophecies were no burdens, if they did not expose us to these dangers.
