The Sermon on the Mount "Blessed are they which..."

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.  But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.  And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.  He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.  And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

 

Tiberias for lunch

One of the major cities around the Sea of Galilee in Jesus’ day, Tiberias remains today as the only one of these cities that still exists.

Herod Antipas built the city in A.D. 18-20, moving his capital there from Sepphoris. He named it Tiberias after the reigning Roman emperor (A.D. 14-37). Tiberias lies some 690 feet below sea level.

Mary Magdalene, the woman Jesus delivered from demons, is mentioned. She was from the town of Migdal, just three miles along the shore from Tiberias. As Mary, Joanna and other women followed Jesus and financially supported Him and His disciples, they would have come to know each other well. Mary, and probably also Joanna, were present at the cross. It was Mary from Migdal and Joanna from Tiberias who went to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body

When the Romans put down the Jewish revolt, destroying Jerusalem in A.D.70, Tiberias became the home of the now impotent Sanhedrin after it moved there from Sepphoris in A.D. 217. Tiberias also became the home of the Jerusalem Talmud and later the Massoretic text of the Old Testament.
