The Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Tiberias or Lake Gennesaret, is a freshwater lake in Israel. It is significant in Jesus' ministry, as many of His miracles and teachings occurred around its shores. The crossing follows the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water, demonstrating His divine authority over nature.<p><b>they landed at Gennesaret</b><br>Gennesaret is a fertile plain located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. Known for its rich soil and abundant agriculture, it was a prosperous area during Jesus' time. The landing at Gennesaret signifies a transition to a new phase of ministry, where Jesus continues to heal and teach. This location is not far from Capernaum, a central hub for Jesus' Galilean ministry, indicating His strategic movement through the region.<p><b>and moored the boat</b><br>Mooring the boat suggests a temporary stop, allowing Jesus and His disciples to disembark and engage with the people in the area. This action sets the stage for the subsequent events where Jesus performs healings and miracles, showcasing His compassion and power. The act of mooring also implies a moment of rest and preparation for the ministry work ahead, reflecting the balance between action and reflection in Jesus' ministry.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_and_his_disciples.htm">Jesus and His Disciples</a></b><br>The central figures in this passage, having just crossed the Sea of Galilee after the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/g/gennesaret.htm">Gennesaret</a></b><br>A fertile plain on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee, known for its rich soil and abundant agriculture.
