Today we went to Chorazin, which according to Matthew and Luke, were villages in which Jesus performed "mighty works."
Something interesting I learned today was that according the the teaching of Jesus he was probably most likely aligned with the jewish sect of the Pharisees. This might explain Jesus' harsh words to the Pharisees. Who are you going to get more upset at for screwing up, your good friend or someone you have no relationship with?
In the Synagogue in Chorazin there is this interesting stone which seems to have the face of Medusa carved on it.
After Chorazin we went to the Mount of the Beatitudes.
Then we went to Capernum, the place there Jesus called Peter, James, and John.
On the shores of Capernum you can still find ancient fishing weights like this one that we found.
And a Greek Orthodox church with crazy wierd pictures painted all over the inside of it like this one of the devil.

There are both a Catholic church which was built over what they believe to be the house of Peter,
And a Greek Orthodox church with crazy wierd pictures painted all over the inside of it like this one of the devil.
To finish off the day we went in a boat ride on the Galilee as the sun was setting.
