加利利海的回憶 (Something That Is Memorable)

#2014-1111

The photos on this page were taken on February 3, 2009, the ninth day of our 11-day trip in the Holy Land. The location was at the Sea of Galilee (also known as Lake of Gennesaret, or Lake Tiberias). Seeing these pictures I can "retrieve" (or regain? recover? recall? re-collect? take back? get back? fetch back? ...) a lot of beautiful memories!

耶穌的大部份職事發生在加利利海邊。那時，這裡有繼續沿湖發展的居民點和村莊、大量貿易和渡船。馬可福音（1章14節－20節）和馬太福音（4章18節－22節）描寫耶穌如何從加利利海邊呼召了祂的四個使徒；漁夫聖彼得和兄弟聖安德列、使徒約翰和聖雅各。耶穌的一個著名教導，登山保訓，就是在湖邊的山上。祂的許多神蹟都發生在這裡：在水面行走（但有學者認為耶穌只是在浮冰上走）、平靜風暴、餵飽五千人（在Tabgha）等等。

Much of the ministry of Jesus occurred on the shores of Lake Galilee. In those days, there was a continuous ribbon development of settlements and villages around the lake and plenty of trade and ferrying by boat. The Synoptic gospels of Mark (1:14–20), Matthew (4:18–22), and Luke (5:1–11) describe how Jesus recruited four of his apostles from the shores of Lake Galilee: the fishermen Simon and his brother Andrew and the brothers John and James. One of Jesus' famous teaching episodes, the Sermon on the Mount, is supposed to have been given on a hill overlooking the lake. Many of his miracles are also said to have occurred here including his walking on water, calming the storm, the disciples and the boatload of fish, and his feeding five thousand people (in Tabgha).
