<p>14:34&nbsp;<em>And when they had crossed over, they came-</em>&nbsp;Perhaps the emphasis is upon&nbsp;<em>they</em>. The Lord and His disciples were now united again.</p>
<p><em>To land at Gennesaret</em>- This is on the northwest shore of Galilee. Mk. 6:45 says that they departed on their journey aiming for Bethsaida, on the northeast shore. The Lord had upbraided Bethsaida in Mt. 11:21. Perhaps the disciples had insisted on pressing ahead with giving those people another chance, whereas that was not the Lord&rsquo;s will. Such providential overruling of our preaching is a common occurrence. One wonders whether the changed journey plan involved not returning to the Jews but going to a more Gentile area. This would have been in line with the Lord&rsquo;s own change of course in His ministry, turning away from the Jewish masses towards the tiny minority who accepted Him and towards the Gentiles (see on 13:10).</p>
