Jesus Boat
A 1st C A.D. fishing boat was
found on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, which
may be from Jesus' time, or the Jewish revolt. It
is displayed in a museum in Kibbutz Ginnosar.
The boat was discovered by
accident in the winter of 1986, after a dry season
when the lake was very low. It was found on the
muddy shores of the Sea of Galilee between Ginnosar and Magdala. After 12 days of excavations
on site it was transferred, and now exhibited in a
special museum. The boat is 9M (30ft) long, 2.5M
(8 ft) wide,
1.25M (4ft) high.

Mk 4:35-36: "And the same
day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let
us pass over unto the other side. And when they had
sent away the multitude, they took him even as he
was in the ship. And there were also with him other
little ships".
Mt 8:18-23: "Now when
Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
commandment to depart unto the other side. And a
certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus
saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not
where to lay his head. And another of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury
my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and
let the dead bury their dead. And when he was
entered into a ship, his disciples followed him".
Lk 8:22: "Now it came to
pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with
his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over
unto the other side of the lake. And they launched
forth".
