Maybe it's like this or like that: it all depends?


The first disciples - Sjim'on Petros aka Kefas, his brother Andrei, and the brothers Ya'akov and Yochanan
the sons of Zavdai - were all fishermen on the Lake of Gennesaret {Ginnosar/Tiberias/Kinnereth}. Petros was married to a woman from nearby Kfar Nachum, where they lived in the home of his mother-in-law and
Mark includes the doubtful addition that those three also resided in that house, while Matai & Luke are in
agreement in omitting Mark's expansion of "Kefas' household." Kafas' mother-in-law became a believer after Yehoshua cured her of a fever. Her house became almost a second home for Yeshua and later, after
the unsuccessful visit to his native Natseret, Yeshu returned to the district around Kfar Nachum. The geo-graphical setting for JC's public minstry may result from the vicinity of his baptism and from his acquain-tance with Kefas? This is not a theological, but a strictly factual background. Those years a full of guesses
but this is more or less confirmed by Mat's & Luke's recollection of Yeshua's words after 40 more years?

THEN HE BEGAN TO UPBRAID THE CITIES WHERE MOST OF HIS MIGHTY WORKS HAD BEEN DONE, BECAUSE
THEY DID NOT REPENT. 'WOE TO YOU, CHORAZIN! WOE TO YOU, BETH SAIDA! FOR IF THE MIGHTY WORKS
DONE IN YOU HAD BEEN DONE IN TYRE & TSIDON, THEY WOULD HAVE REPENTED LONG AGO IN SACK CLOTH
AND ASHES. BUT I TELL YOU, KFAR NACHUM, WILL YOU BE EXALTED YO HEAVEN? YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES! FOR IF THE MIGHTY WORKS DONE IN YOU HAD BEEN DONE IN TSDOM, IT WOULD HAVE
REMAINED TO THIS VERY DAY! BUT I TELL YOU THAT IT SHALL BE MORE TELERABLE ON THE DAY OF JUDG-
MENT FOR THE LAND OF SODOM THAN FOR YOU! [THAT HOW I FEEL NOW WITH MY PAIN IN HAND & EYE!]!

The northwest corner of the Sea of Galilee was densely populated and well cultivated [subtropical and 200
metres below sealevel!]! Nearby Chorzin ~ whose wheat was famous ~ is not mentioned anywhere else in the New Testament. The wretched Miryam 'Magdalite' from whom seven demons had gone out came from
the neighbouring Magdala & many fishermen lived there & sailed routinely across to the east bank where fiish were plentiful. Contrary to popular notions today, the inhabitants of this district were not rude back-woodsmen [as also Galileans were seen by the Judaeans who considered themselves superior in all ways
... Anyway, I'm tired, hurting [right hand & eye!], still didn't receive the books I ordered in April [!], so I might have to go to A'dam tomorrow or tuesday to pick them up myself? Waste of time & money probably
but who cares: some suffering might do me some good after all as crazy old bugger, beggar & bastard ...
Sleep well, dream soft & sweet & tell us all about it if you really want to do so?! Sometimes pain & worries
make you even wake up earlier and/or sleep longer: it all depends on the mixture of facts and how this all
ends
