In Luke 5:1, the genitive singular form occurs in the clause rendered by the APB as Jesus standing "beside the lake Gennesaret." In Mark 6:53 and Matthew 14:34, the accusative singular form occurs after crossing over, with the APB rendering arrival "to Gennesaret" and landing "at Gennesaret."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name in a lake phrase in Luke 5:1 and as an arrival or landing destination in Mark 6:53 and Matthew 14:34. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
