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.<p><b>they landed at Gennesaret</b><br />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.
