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.

Did Jesus really move a lake?
There is no account of Jesus moving a lake in any of the accounts concerning His life. It is unlikely that He would waste His time on something like this when He had come to save people from sin and death and to heal and help many with various sicknesses. It is possible there is a misunderstanding with one of the number of accounts which provide details of Jesus crossing the Sea of Galilee (a small inland lake in northern Israel). He also walked on this lake and stilled a storm of wind on this lake and cooked fish beside it and preached near it.
