διαπεράσαντες ἐπὶ τ. γῆν. When they had crossed over to the land (R.V. marg.); cf. διασωθῆναι ἐπὶ τ. γῆν (Acts 27:44). The δια- points to their getting through their perils and toils. Jn says that they did so εὐθέως, on their welcoming Christ into the boat.

Γεννησαρέτ. Mt. says the same; elsewhere only Luke 5:1. It was a little [1362] of Capernaum, and was then a fertile and populous district (Joseph. B.J. III. x. 8).
