welcome to Israel in the holy land!
In this episode, we reach the shores of the
Sea of Galilee considered to be one of
the most beautiful places in the Land of
Israel. This is where Jesus encountered
his first followers and performed most
of his miracles
let's go check it out
This is where Jesus performed all of his Miracles!
Right here, the water.
Sea of Galilee!
The Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake and
and the largest lake in Israel
[music]
how was your swim?
how was the water? Nice! Very nice.
Sea of Galilee baby! So warm...
but very rocky
miraculously after our swim in the Sea of Galilee...
there was a biblical deluge... the
first rain since summer. Going in here
to see the ancient boat of Galilee.
We went inside the museum to see a
two-thousand-year-old boat from the time
of Jesus. And the sun miraculously emerged
as it was time for us to take a
modern-day boat along the Sea of Galilee
the Sea of Galilee boat ride takes you
across the sea for Jesus's ministry was
centered around this is where he gave
almost half of his parables and
performed most of his miracles the Sea
of Galilee was mentioned many times in
the Bible and is the center point
location for his many miracles including
the miracle catch of fish, the calming of
the storm, that feading of 5,000 from
five loaves and two fish, and walking on water!
The boat ride is not only a
spiritual experience as we are retracing
the steps of Jesus but it is also
extremely picturesque. During the boat
ride it was a time of reflection and
prayer where we read many excerpts of
the Bible including one of the famous
verses that mentions the seat Galilei
And Jesus walking back to Sea of Galilee (where we are) saw two brethren
called Peter and Andrew his brother
casting a net into the sea
where they were fishers
And He said unto them, follow me
and I will make you fishers on men. And
they straightway left their nets and
followed and going on from then, he saw other two brethren
James son of Zebedee and John his
brother in a ship with Zebedee their father
manning their nets and he called them and
they immediately left the ship and
their father and follow Him. And Jesus went
about all Galilee teaching in their
synagogues and preaching the gospel of
the kingdom and healing the man they're
all manner of sickness and all manner
of disease among the people.
Jesus performed many healings and one of
the locations where many of these
occurred is called Capernaum where he
healed a man who was possessed by an
unclean spirit today a modern church
called st. Peter with an octagon shape
sits atop the ruins of the 4th century
synagogue where Jesus performed many of
these miracles these ruins are said to
be among one of the oldest synagogues in
the world after visiting so many
historic sites it was time to take a
break with a traditional Israeli at
lunch
Mike, what kind did you get?
sahlab... What's in it? coconut and nuts
all kinds of good stuff
And BP what kind of beer did you get? a gold star
beer local beer tastes like Rheingold
from old New York. Now it was time to
visit Nazareth which is regarded as
Jesus childhood home and where the
Church of the Annunciation is found. This
is Nazareth, this is the Church of the
Annunciation where the angel told
Mary she would give birth to Jesus. The next day
we traveled to the Jordan River this is
the famous site where Jesus of Nazareth was
baptized by John the Baptist
that's what I've made it to the
baptismal site of Jesus this is the
Jordan River River Jordan right here it

jordan river flows all the way to the
Dead Sea
