About this video
Runtime: 10 minsStephen Travis discusses the context of Jesus's life in first century Galilee. The Holy Land, a small region about the size of Wales, is steeped in historical significance. Galilee, where Jesus conducted much of his ministry, centred around the Lake of Galilee. Capernaum, a hub of Jesus' activities, housed a significant synagogue and likely the home of Peter, transformed over centuries into a sacred Christian site. The fishing industry thrived along the lake's shores, shaping Jesus' teachings with agricultural imagery. Nazareth village today provides insights into ancient farming practices, reflecting the realities depicted in Jesus' parables about sowing and harvesting.
