JESUS’ MINISTRY IN THE GALILEE
Day 4 ~ Tuesday
After breakfast we begin the day with a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Continue to Capernaum, the centre of Jesus’ Galilean ministry and the site of many of his miracles (Mark 2:4; Matt.8:5; 14-7; 9; 1-7; 17:18). We will see the remains of Peter’s house and the synagogue site where Jesus taught and worshipped (Mark 1:21; Luke 4:31). Continue to the Mt. of Beatitudes where Jesus delivered what is perhaps the most famous sermon ever preached – “The Sermon On The Mount” (Matt.5). Visit the newly excavated town of Magdala the town of Mary of Magdalena. Drive to Chorazim one of the most well-preserved ancient cities dating back to the Second Temple era and mentioned in the New Testament as one of the three cities cursed by Jesus (along with Bethsaida and Capernaum). We will drive north for a visit to Tel Dan. Perhaps the most famous find from Tel Dan is a stela, in the 9th century BCE, identifying a Judahite king from the "house of David" and thus providing the only extra biblical reference to the famed King David from the Bible. Continue to Banias, one of the sources of the Jordan River and the site of ancient “Caesarea Philipi”, where Peter made the confession of faith in Christ (Matt; 16:16). Return to your Guest House via the east side of the Sea of Galilee stopping at Kursi to see the place where the demons entered the swine and entered the Sea of Galilee. Dinner and overnight at the Nof Ginossar on the Sea of Galilee.
