14:34 After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. 8 14:35 When the people 9 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 10 they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “on the sea”; or “on the lake.” The translation “water” has been used here for stylistic reasons (cf. the same phrase in v. 25).
3 tc Most witnesses have ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (Jo Ihsous, “Jesus”), while a few lack the words (א* D 073 892 pc ff1 syc sa bo). Although such additions are often suspect (due to liturgical influences, piety, or for the sake of clarity), in this case it is likely that ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς dropped out accidentally. Apart from a few albeit important witnesses, as noted above, the rest of the tradition has either ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς αὐτοῖς (Jo Ihsous autois) or αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς (autois Jo Ihsous). In uncial letters, with Jesus’ name as a nomen sacrum, this would have been written as autoisois_ or ois_autois. Thus homoioteleuton could explain the reason for the omission of Jesus’ name.
4 tn Grk “he said to them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
6 tn Grk “answering him, Peter said.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant and has not been translated.
7 tn Grk “he cried out, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
8 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).
9 tn Grk “men”; the word here (ἀνήρ, anhr) usually indicates males or husbands, but occasionally is used in a generic sense of people in general, as here (cf. BDAG 79 s.v. 1.a, 2).
10 tn Grk “asked that they might touch.”
