Tiberias

Chapter Fourteen PAUL’S TRIALS The elders, including James, were glad to see Paul, but, because of the Jews, they were concerned for his safety. They suggested to Paul that those Jewish scalawags might be calmed if he were to take a vow. Paul was no stranger to taking a vow, so he did not object. But, before there was time enough to complete the purification ceremony, the Jews incited the people. They said that Paul was teaching against the Law and that he had brought Greeks into the temple.

They follow him some because they stand in need of healing, others because of the miracles they have seen him perform. While the multitude is making its way, Jesus arrives in Tiberias, goes up to the mountain, sits down and begins to talk with his disciples. Here is where we notice our first major difference in John’s account of this event in comparison to the other gospel writers.

18. As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee: “By the Sea of Galilee’ picks up on 4.13 and 15. There is no note of time. The location is presumably near Capernaum; cf. 4.13. This so-called Sea of Galilee was also known by the names Gennesaret, Tiberias, and Taricheae. Actually, it is an Island, with the freshwater lake which is about thirteen miles long and eight miles wide at one point, not a Sea as we as many think it is.” The way Matthew presents the scene, opening off with Περιπατῶν δὲ…

6.) (How he treated his enemies) Militarily, he chose to conquer smaller Christian centers on the way to Jerusalem, avoiding strenuous sieges, and offering noble surrenders, resulting in far less blood being spilled from battle.
