Verse 53
Gennesaret was the name of a town and the name of a plain on which the town stood. The region was the northwest coast of the lake. It was so prominent because of its agricultural richness that another name for the Sea of Galilee was the Sea of Gennesaret (Luke 5:1). [Note: Cf. Josephus, The Wars . . ., 3:10:8.] It was an area of dense population.
