John 6:2

"After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias."

Key Reflection

This passage marks a transition in Jesus' ministry, indicating a move to a new location where significant events would unfold. The change to the "Sea of Tiberias" suggests a shift from earlier Galilean teachings to more public and pivotal moments, setting the stage for the feeding of the five thousand and subsequent teachings that followed.
