Sea of Galilee

Jesus went out into the hills to pray.

So because Jesus is still in the Galilee area, he's probably gone to the hills surrounding the Sea of Galilee.

And we know that Jesus does go to this area when he wants a bit of privacy or if he wants to pray.

Now, some scholars think the fact that he goes up the mountain, this might call to mind Moses going up the mountain in Exodus chapter 19, verse 3.

Question 1.

What did Jesus say to the storm on the Sea of Galilee?

Cut it

out, bro.

John chapter 21.

Afterward, Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee.

It happened this way.

Simon Peter, Thomas also called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.

And in a similar way, it's actually the fish as well.

The fish in the Sea of Galilee.

There's like this staple eating fish in the Sea of Galilee.

And that actually could have been mistaken or the fake thing, the snake could have been mistaken.

It's actually like an eel-like catfish that's also present in this lake that actually you could kind of see how this is the fake version of the real thing.

He just fed 5,000 men with five loaves and two fish.

then he sent the disciples across the lake across the sea of galilee whilst he took this opportunity to pray and this is one thing we notice about jesus is he didn't just pray the normal time jewish times the jewish jews had special times a day to pray didn't just pray in those times he prayed in addition to that at other times as well if you look through the gospels you'll find that he he prayed at his baptism when the holy spirit fell and the voice of god spoke He prayed the desert as he battled temptation for 40 days from the devil.

He prayed all night, all night, not just half a night of prayer, the whole night to pray about which would be his 12 apostles.

He prayed in the Mount of Transfiguration before revealing his glory to Peter, James and John.

Now, meanwhile, the poor disciples were having a terrible time of it.

When they first started off, it was nice and calm.

And the thing is, with the Sea of Galilee, at any time, a storm can come up like that without any warning.

And there they were.

This is how it reads.

Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee.

This is how it happened.

Several of the disciples were there, Simon Peter, Thomas, nicknamed the twin, No, they replied.

So if God says it's a mountain, I say it's a mountain.

You know, terms or whatever you define them to be, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake.

It's a big lake.

There's no salt water in it.

If you've ever been to Israel, one of the trips that you will take is you'll go to the Galilee and you will read and get on a boat and go out on the water.

And then typically they will read a couple of the stories that occur on the Sea of Galilee.

Peter walking on the water is obviously one of them.

And of course, Jesus calming the wind and calming the waves is another one.

massive demon infestation and cast it into pigs.

And where do the pigs go? The pigs go and jump into the Sea of Galilee.

And this is where they are supposed to...

And the reason I believe they went there is because that was, for them, that was home, they were going back home, they were going back home to where they wanted, they needed to reside.
