The greater part of Christ’s miracles and ministry took place along the shores, towns and hills surrounding the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Kinneret (pronounced KEE-ne-ret) in Hebrew, is a freshwater lake – about 13 miles long, 7 miles wide, 200 feet deep and 700 feet below sea level. The lake is fed by many underwater streams. Although the main water source is the Jordan River. The river flows North to South through the lake and ends at the Dead Sea. The Sea of Galilee is the lowest freshwater lake on earth.
It is the natural barrier between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region. An ancient Galilee boat was discovered on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in the late 80’s. This 1st century fishing boat represents the type of boats used during Jesus’s ministry. The lake has several different names throughout the New Testament. It is most familiarly known as the Sea of Galilee (Mark 1:16; 7:13; Matt 4:18; 15:29; John 6:1) but it is also known as Lake Gennesaret (Luke 5:1) and the Sea of Tiberias (John 6:1; 21:1).
