Gennesaret · Plain on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee (Galilee, Israel)
After Jesus landed at Gennesaret, the sick from the whole region were brought to him, and all who touched the fringe of his garment were healed.
Background
Gennesaret was a fertile coastal plain on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and Magdala, known for its orchards, gardens, and warm springs. In New Testament times it was densely settled with prosperous villages. After Jesus walked on the sea and calmed the wind from the disciples' boat, they crossed over and landed at Gennesaret (Matt 14:34; Mark 6:53). As soon as the local people recognized Jesus, they sent word throughout the surrounding region and brought all the sick on stretchers. Wherever Jesus entered villages, towns, or countryside, people laid the sick in the marketplaces, begging that they might touch just the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were made completely well (Matt 14:34-36; Mark 6:53-56).

And they crossed over and came to land in Gen·nesʹa·ret. On recognizing him, the men of that place sent word into all that surrounding country, and people brought him all those who were ill. And they pleaded with him that they might just touch the fringe of his outer garment, and all those who touched it were made completely well.— Matthew 14:34-36
When they got across to land, they came to Gen·nesʹa·ret and anchored the boat nearby. But as soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized him. They ran around all that region and started to bring on stretchers those who were ailing to where they heard he was. And wherever he would enter into villages or cities or the countryside, they would place the sick ones in the marketplaces, and they would plead with him that they might touch just the fringe of his outer garment. And all those who touched it were made well.— Mark 6:53-56
