Home of Jesus' ministry

0/4 places explored · tap the glowing points

A freshwater lake about 13 miles long, ringed by hills, in northern Israel.
Jesus' ministry base was the lakeside town of Capernaum.
Sudden, violent storms blow up on the lake without warning.
Several of Jesus' first disciples were fishermen here.
Much of the Gospels — teaching, healing, and miracles — took place around this shore.
