><>..Jesus Christ and some of HIs Parables..><> Sepphoris, about six kilometers (four miles) northwest of Nazareth, had been the center of an anti-Roman revolt during Jesus' infancy. The village was destroyed by the Romans, but it was soon rebuilt by Herod Antipas. Antipas lived there as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea until he founded a new capital for his principality at Tiberias, on the western shore of the Lake of Galilee (A. D. 22). Reports of happenings at his court, while he lived in Sepphoris, were probably carried to Nazareth. A royal court formed the setting for several of Jesus' parables.

><>...Jesus Christ...><> Continued Scenes from Israel's history could be seen from the rising ground above Nazareth. To the south stretched the Valley of Jezreel, where great battles had been fought in earlier days. Beyond the Valley of Jezreel was Mount Gilboa, where King Saul fell in battle with the Philistines. To the east Mount Tabor rose to 562 meters (1,843 feet), the highest elevation in that part of the country. A growing boy would readily find his mind moving back and forth between the stirring events of former days and the realities of the contemporary situation: the allpervasive presence of the Romans.

><>...Jesus Christ & The Beginnings Of His Ministry...><> Beginnings of Jesus' ministry-- Jesus began His public ministry when He sought baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. John preached between A. D. 27 and 28 in the lower Jordan Valley and baptized those who wished to give expression to their repentance <Matt. 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:29-34>. The descent of the dove as Jesus came up out of the water was a sign that He was the One anointed by the Spirit of God as the Servant-Messiah of His people <Is. 11:2; 42:1; 61:1>.
