Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.

When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.

And many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to minister to Him.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ See, I have told you.”

“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”

Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

These women had followed Jesus and ministered to Him while He was in Galilee, and there were many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with Him.

Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people.

And He continued to preach in the synagogues of Judea.

One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.

When Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from the dead,

At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

While Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee.

About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.

This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.

After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.

So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.

Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.

Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
