One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret… Luke 5:1
The Lake of Gennesaret was the Sea of Galilee. It was another name for this body of water
derived from a city on the northwestern shore known in the Old Testament as Kinneret
(Deuteronomy 3:17, Joshua 11:2, 19:35, 1 Kings 15:20) found in the region
belonging to the tribe of Gad.
Translations have altered the name to Kinnereth, Chinnereth, Chinneroth,
and Ginosar. Remains of this city have
been found.
