Mark 6:53

Healing the Sick

6:53 After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret ¹  and anchored there.

Mark 13:31

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ² 

[6:53]  ¹ sn Gennesaret was a fertile plain south of Capernaum (see also Matt 14:34). This name was also sometimes used for the Sea of Galilee (Luke 5:1).

[13:31]  ² sn The words that Jesus predicts here will never pass away. They are more stable and lasting than creation itself! For this kind of image, see Isa 40:8; 55:10-11.
