Jesus Heals the Sick in Gennesaret
Matthew 14:34-36 (KJV)
34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Gennesaret, two miles and a half in length and about one mile in breadth. Modern travellers speak of “its charming bays and its fertile soil rich with the scourings of the basaltic hills.” Josephus describes the district in glowing terms
What a contrast living in such a beautiful place, but so many sick people there the only hope they had was the son of God Jesus Christ. He had compassion and healed them.
And he still has the power to heal today
