Ver. 1,2. It is by many interpreters thought that Luke in this history, to Luk_5:11, doth but give us a larger account of what Matthew, Mat_4:18, and Mark, Mar_1:16, told us shortly. The sea of Galilee (as they call it) and the lake of Gennesaret were both the same, receiving the different denomination from the opposite coasts between which it was. hara thn limnhn had been better translated upon, or at, than by the lake, for without doubt the two ships here mentioned were upon the water, though possibly fastened as usually to the shore.
