The following is the results of your search for Tiberias, Sea of.
Tiberias, Sea of: Called also the Sea of Galilee (q.v.) and of Gennesaret. In the Old
Testament it is called the Sea of Chinnereth or Chinneroth. John
(John 21:1) is the only evangelist who so designates this lake. His
doing so incidentally confirms the opinion that he wrote after the
other evangelists, and at a period subsequent to the taking of
Jerusalem (A.D. 70) Tiberias had by this time become an important city,
having been spared by the Romans, and made the capital of the province
when Jerusalem was destroyed. It thus naturally gave its name to the
lake.
