- In Jesus in Galilee Pt 3: Religious Jews of the Triangle, Walking The Text Founder Brad Gray explores a tiny section of the Galilee where Jesus spent an enormous amount of time. Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida comprised a small area known today as the “Evangelical Triangle.” And what Jesus does and says about these cities will cause you to reflect deeply on your own relationship with him.
These three cities were mostly populated by religious Jews. These Jewish families were passionate about following the Scriptures, and their entire lives were oriented around the Biblical text. Although they didn’t become a formal institution until after 70 AD, synagogues functioned like community centers, shaping the life of the community around the word of God. Capernaum sat on the international highway and, in time, became a rabbinic center which seems to be one of the reasons Jesus chose to make it his home base.
Yet, despite their familiarity with the Scriptures, Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida, were largely resistant to the ministry of Jesus. So resistant that Jesus pronounced a woe on their disbelief. Which raises the question: What happened? How can people who are so fiercely devoted to the Scriptures miss the Messiah when he shows up in their midst? Jesus in Galilee Pt 3: Religious Jews of the Triangle will show that it’s not enough to know about Jesus and challenge you to examine what keeps you from following him more fully?

Brad freaking Gray. Like his videos .
Very well done. Thia ia so food
Thanks Lloyd! Grateful to know it blessed you.
I want to follow Jesus well, that includes studying so I better understand Jesus, which is some cases may overturn one's earlier understanding.
Well said @donj2222!
This is great supplementary material to the NT and The Chosen TV series (which I HIGHLY recommend.) Thank you for the background information on Ancient Israel! I do hope to visit the Holy Land some day.
That sounds really great. I'm looking forward to hearing about it. I just went to the doctor a few days ago, whose name is Jesus and he lives in Magdalena.... (This is South America. I'm a missionary there), but I thought about that area.
I was truly amazed at how small everything was... But it's a beautiful area. God bless you. I would love to talk with you sometime.
Very nice video. One small quibble. It is not technically accurate to refer to a “rabbinical center” in the time of Jesus. The word rabbi, particularly as we think of it today, came into use after the fall of the Temple. The precursors of the rabbinical tradition were the Pharisees who, as traditionalists, were more dedicated to Torah observance than their rivals the Sadducees. The Pharisees themselves were not uniform in their views with debates over the relative importance of the spirit or the letter of the law taking place between the houses of Hillel and Shammi. It was with members of these groups Jesus was most likely interacting - with Jesus seeming to agree more with Hillel. He is remembered for his Golden Rule: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."
Thanks for your comment Mike. We're familiar with what you're describing about the technical use of the phrase "rabbinical center" prior to 70 AD from scholarly work. However, we're not convinced this view stands up to thoughtful historical investigation. If you'd be willing to send us a brief email to hello@walkingthetext.com, there's a paper I'd love to share with you that I think you'd find thought-provoking on these issues.
