John6:1

AFter these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee , which is the sea of Tiberias c.

Some good time (some think near a Year after the passages in the former Chapter)

Christ went over the Lake of Galilee (for the Iews called all great collections of Waters, Seas); it is also called the Lake of Tiberias, and the Lake of Gennesareth, Luke 5.1. These waters received their name from the whole Province whose Coast they washed; so they were called the Sea of Galilee, or the particular Shore, or Cities they washed; so they are sometimes called the Sea of Tiberias; sometimes the Lake of Gennesareth. It appeareth by Mark 6.31. that he went upon the Apostles coming to give him an account of what they had done, and taught.

Marginal references: Mat. 14.13. Mark 6.32. Luke 9.10.
