During the summer, Jesus\u00a0journeys from Capernaum to the\u00a0Mediterranean Sea, then along the Phoenician coast (present-day Lebanon), and finally inland (present-day Syria) around upper Galilee.<\/p>\n

The Gospel of Mark summarizes Jesus’ experience\u00a0in two phrases. “He went to the region Tyre.” And\u00a0the return: “He came through Sidon to Lake Galilee in the middle of the region of Decapolis” (Mark 7:24, 31).<\/p>\n

The “normal” experience today\u00a0includes cell phones, microwaves, automobiles, and credit cards. (see Science-Fiction meets Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John<\/a>)<\/p>\n
