Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tēn gēn {ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν | epí tḕn gē̂n} conveys motion toward the land, and eis Gennēsarét {εἰς Γεννησαρέτ | eis Gennēsarét} specifies the destination. English renders the participial clause as a subordinate “after” clause and combines the prepositional senses in “came to land at Gennesaret” to capture both movement and result.
