By: Tittovito Geoffrey Yonathan

Galilee in Fausset's Bible Dictionary. (gal' ih lee) Place name meaning, “circle” or “region.” The northern part of Israel above the hill country of Ephraim and the hill country of Judah (Joshua 20:7).
The Septuagint or early Greek translation referred to a king of the nations of Galilee in Joshua 12:23

Most of the early ministry of Jesus took place in Galilee. He lived in Nazareth (Matt 21:11) and performed his first miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11). When he ministry in Galilee the crowds received him gladly (Mark 12:37), and it was in Judea were Jesus was put to death. During the last supper Jesus told his disciples that after he been raised from the dead, He would go before them to meet them (Mark 14:28). After his resurrection an angel informed the disciples that Jesus had preceded them in Galilee were they would see him as he had promised (Mark 16:7).
