During the cooler months of the year, fishermen of Capernaum threw their nets out in the shallow waters close to a small harbor (Peter’s harbor) that existed there at the time. According to reference 8, the Tilapas fish (also known as Peter’s fish) is a tropical species and therefore suffers greatly in the winter cold. Thus, they are attracted to warmer water at the warm springs at Tabgha (Seven Springs). Large schools of them gather in the area, and thus large catches can be made in winter and in spring. | 8.4 |
| 44 | Healing of the man with an unclean spirit | January 28 AD | – | Mark 1:21-28 Loading... | Luke 4:33-37 Loading... | – | Mar writes further from the previous event and Luk from event 42. The Sea of Galilee is actually a freshwater lake that is fed by the Jordan River. The water flows from the lake into the Dead Sea or Salt Sea. The Dead Sea is more than 400 meters below sea level and the water does not flow out as in the case of the Sea of Galilee. The water in the Dead Sea evaporates and over the years the salt content has become so high that there is no fish life in it and hence the name. Here’s how the following equation is used on our spiritual life: – When we share the Gospel with others, we stay fresh and give life. – If we keep it just to ourselves, we will stagnate and become like the Dead Sea. | 8.4 |
