Ésaïe avait prophétisé qu'une grande lumière brillerait sur « la Galilée des nations » (Ésaïe 9:1), accomplie quand Jésus commença son ministère là après l'emprisonnement de Jean-Baptiste. La région était le foyer des disciples de Jésus — la plupart pêcheurs galiléens — et le lieu de nombreux miracles.
