In biblical times, it was known for its fertile land and diverse population, including Jews and Gentiles. Galilee was the setting for much of Jesus' ministry, where He performed miracles, taught parables, and called His first disciples. The region's mixed population and distance from the religious center of Jerusalem contributed to its unique cultural and social dynamics.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
