Plains of Gennesaret

 

 

  Jesus lands on the shores of the "land of Gennesaret", which is named after Tell Kinneret (the main city of this area) or the valley south of it (along the shore until Magdala). Here he heals many people.

Mk 6:54-56:" And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole".
 

 

Mt 14:5-36:"And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole".
