What is the name of the lake or sea Jesus walked on?
A:This small fresh-water lake in the north of what is now known as Israel is called the Sea of Galilee, a name that seems to have originated with Mark's Gospel, possibly to help readers understand where the lake was and, by calling it a sea, emphasise the drama of events occuring there. Of course, the Gospels of Matthew and Luke followed Mark in using this name. John's Gospel uses this name one time (verse 6:1) but explains that this is actually the sea of Tiberias. The lake was known to Jews as the Lake of Gennesaret and to Romans as Lake Tiberias.
What city was near where jesus preached the sermon of the mount?
Before the Sermon on the mount, "Jesus went about all Galilee, teeching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sicknesses and all kinds of disease among the people" (Matthew 4:23) In Matthew, the sermon on the mount is recorded from Matthew chapters 5-7. Matthew 8:5 records that Jesus entered Capernaum. I don't know exactly which city was near while Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, but this gives us some context.

What sea lies in the northeastern part of Israel near the Golan Heights?
Sea of Galilee, also known as the Kinneret, which touches the Golan Heights. It is worth noting that the Sea of Galilee is actually a freshwater lake (just like the Caspian Sea or Aral Sea). The closest saltwater sea to the Golan Heights is the Mediterranean Sea at approximately 30 miles or 50 kilometers distance from the Golan Heights.
When did Sea of Galilee change to Sea of Tiberias?
The Sea of Galilee is also known as Kinneret, Lake of Gennesaret and Lake Tiberias. The name, Sea of Galilee, is purely of Christian origin and probably originated in Mark's Gospel. On one view, the author of Mark wanted to portray the relatively tiny lake as a sea, in order to match the image of great waves that threatened to sink the fishing boat with the disciples. Emperor Tiberius reigned from 14 to 37 CE, and this name was used long before Mark's Gospel for an important city built on the lake's southern shore. At some stage, the lake came to be called Lake Tiberias, although not by the Jews, who continued to refer to it as Kinneret.John's Gospel, believed to have been written in the early decades of the second century, mentions the Sea of Galilee, saying this was the same as the Sea of Tiberias, and from then onwards uses the name, Sea of Tiberias.
