Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,
and his disciples
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.-Matthew 17:22-23***Dan was the 1st son born to Jacob (Israel) and Bilhah, and Naphtali was Jacob and Bilhah's 2nd born son. Leah was Jacob's 1st wife, Rachel was Jacob's 2nd wife, and Bilhah was Jacob's maidservant. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. When Joseph was at least 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt and led Jacob to believe that Joseph was killed by a wild animal. When Joseph was 30 years old, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, proclaimed that Joseph was second-in-command. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, and the Lord God spoke to Jacob during the journey. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Joseph and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, and Jacob's family buried his body in Canaan, and 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died. Before Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried, the Lord God gave Moses commands for allotting each tribe its portion of the Promised Land. Joshua, Moses' successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to their descendants. After the Israelites defeated some of the idol worshiping inhabitants in Canaan, Joshua, and Aaron's son and successor Eleazar the priest, and the tribal leaders specified by the Lord God, began allotting each tribe its portion of the Promised Land, according to the commands that the Lord God gave Moses. Galilee was located in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Naphtali. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that King Solomon, the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, gave 20 cities in Galilee to King Hiram, ruler of Tyre. Notably, Galilee was near Tyre, Phoenicia and Sidon, and was inhabited by Israelites and Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes, and became known as Galilee of the nations, and Galilee of the Gentiles. Over 900 years after Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, became the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. Before Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven less than 3 1/2 years after he was baptized, Jesus identified himself as the the Son of man.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
