bably delivered on the same or on the subsequent day , ) addressed to some Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem , to the people , and to his disciples , concerning eating with unwashen hands and during the time while he was on the north-western coast of the Lake , he healed many sick persons of the district .
It appears that after remaining a short time only in the land of Gennesaret , where he was only a few miles from Tiberias , he went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon , north-west of Palestine , where he healed the daughter of the Syro-phcenician woman . He then came to the eastern shore of the Lake , passing through the Decapolis , where he cured the deaf and dumb man , and wrought many other miracles . While still in the Decapolis he miraculously fed the Four Thousand . He then coasted along the eastern shore of the Lake , to the neighbourhood of Magdala and Dalmanutha , in the south-east , where some Scribes and Pharisees demanded a sign from him ; and afterwards crossed the Lake to Bethsaida in Galilee , which lay between Tiberias and Capernaum ; where he gave sight to the blind man .
Without , as it appears , making any stay in the region west of the Lake , our Lord set out towards Csesarea , in Philip ' dominions , in the very north of Palestine . In the neighbourhood of that city , ( which we have no reason to think that he entered , ) Peter , for himself and for his fellow-apostles , expressly avowed , for the § rst time , the conviction that Jesus was " the Messiah , the Son of the living God ; " and our Lord immediately ( and thenceforwards repeatedly ) acquainted his Apostles with his approaching sufferings , and stated the necessity of their undergoing sufferings for his sake . About six days after , while in the north of Palestine , * the glorious scene of the Transfiguration occurred , in the presence of Peter , John , and James ;
and on returning to the rest of the Apostles , our Lord healed the epileptic child . He then travelled southwards through Galilee ; and on arriving at Capernaum , which had been his general residence during the preceding twelvemonth , application was made to him for the half-shekel annually paid by every adult Jew for the service of the Temple . After delivering to the Apostles some important admonitions on the duty of humility , of mutual aid in spiritual improvement , and of a forgiving disposition , he left Capernaum , and proceeded on his last journey towards Jerusalem . He first entered Samaria , purposing to go direct ; but the inhabitants of the village which he first entered refused him a reception , because he was going to Jerusalem . He then appears to have passed along the confines of
* The Transfiguration is still commonly placed on Mount Tabor , in the south of Galilee ; but there is nothing except an unauthorized tradition to support this opinion . Our Lord was obviously somewhere between Csesarea Philippi and Capernaum ; and had the mountain on which it occurred been one whose name was in familiar use , the name would most probably have been mentioned .
