Matius 14:34-36

14:34 After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. ¹  14:35 When the people ²  there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him. 14:36 They begged him if ³  they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

[14:34]  ¹ sn Gennesaret was a fertile plain south of Capernaum (see also Mark 6:53). The Sea of Galilee was also sometimes known as the Sea of Gennesaret (Luke 5:1).
