And when they were come out of the ship, etc..] Christ and his disciples, and were ashore, straightway they knew him; that is, the men of that place, as in Mt. 14:35, (see Gill on “<401435>Matthew 14:35”); and so the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions read here, “the inhabitants of that country”, the country of Gennesaret; they knew him, having seen and heard him before.
