From here we drive to Magdala—the birthplace of Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2; John 19:25; Mark 16:9), which was a prosperous fishing village at the time Jesus wasl active in this region.

On the northern shores we stop and visit the site of Mt. Beatitudes, the scene of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), and the nearby ruins of Chorazim (Matthew 11:20), one of the small cities that Jesus visited but its inhabitants did not listen to Him.
