Places
Galilee in Matthew 19
GAL-ih-lee
This place shows up in Matthew 19:1: “When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Matthew 19:1
“When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.”
