Galilee - a region of northern Israel. The northernmost part of Palestine and the ancient kingdom of Israel, Galilee was the center of Jesus's ministry.
It was also the boyhood home of Jesus Christ and the setting for much of his ministry.
Galilee was the scene of the early ministry of Jesus. He lived in Nazareth of Galilee (Matt 21:11; Mark 1:9) and performed his first miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11; 4:46).
For the earlier gospels of Mark and Matthew, Galilee, geographically a green and pleasant land, has a certain connotation of the happy days at the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, when the crowds heard him gladly (Mark 12:37), in contrast with stony Judea where he was put to death. It was there, Jesus told them at the Last Supper that, after he had been raised, he would go before them to meet them (Mark 14:28). The young man in the empty tomb told the women to inform the disciples that Jesus had preceded them in Galilee where they would see him as he had promised (Mark 16:7). Thus Galilee became a kind of promised land.
