📚 Historical Context

In the first century, Galilee was a region in northern Israel where Jesus began His public ministry after being baptized and tempted in the wilderness. Synagogues were local Jewish gathering places for worship, prayer, and teaching from the Scriptures, serving as community centers for religious instruction. Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, preaching the good news of the Kingdom of God and demonstrating His authority by casting out demons, which affirmed His role as the Messiah in a culture that recognized spiritual warfare.
