Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee


‎Tiberias is a city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, in northern Israel. It was located in the Roman province of Judea. The Roman-Jewish client king Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, established the town as his capital in A.D. 20, naming it for the Roman emperor Tiberius. The city quickly became such a major population center that the Sea of Galilee soon became known by the alternate name “Sea of Tiberias.”
‎John 6:1, John 6:23, John 21:1, Luke 3:1
