Galilaia is the named region presented as a destination, place of residence, and setting for travel, teaching, and other events.

The occurrences identify a geographical region: people come from it or live in its cities, travel toward or through it, and events are located there or beside its sea. The same place-name also marks a territorial setting alongside Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem.

Senses in use

  1. The geographical region in narrative settings · dominant

    The noun names the region as a destination in John 1:43 and as the place from which Jesus came in Mark 1:9. It also locates cities and waters: in John 2:1 the APB renders Cana as being "of Galilee," and in Mark 1:16 it renders the setting beside the "sea of Galilee." In Acts 9:31, it appears with Judea and Samaria as the area throughout which the church had peace.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB normally presents the place-name as "Galilee," including phrases such as "from Galilee," "into Galilee," and "sea of Galilee." These renderings confirm the verse-level location and movement statements rather than isolating every grammatical contribution of the noun.
