What/who inspired the work? The Sea of Galilee lies on the ancient Via Maris, which linked Egypt with the northern empires. The Greeks, Hasmoneans, and Romans founded flourishing towns and settlements on the land-locked lake including Hippos and Tiberias. The first-century historian Flavius Josephus was so impressed by the area that he wrote, "One may call this place the ambition of Nature." Josephus also reported a thriving fishing industry at this time, with 230 boats regularly working in the lake. Archaeologists discovered one such boat, nicknamed the Jesus Boat, in 1986. Much of the ministry of Jesus occurred on the shores of Lake Galilee. In those days, there was a continuous ribbon development of settlements and villages around the lake and plenty of trade and ferrying by boat. The Synoptic gospels of Mark (1:14–20), Matthew (4:18–22), and Luke (5:1–11) describe how Jesus recruited four of his apostles from the shores of Lake Galilee: the fishermen Simon and his brother Andrew and the brothers John and James. One of Jesus' famous teaching episodes, the Sermon on the Mount, is supposed to have been given on a hill overlooking the lake. Many of his miracles are also said to have occurred here including his walking on water, calming the storm, the disciples and the boatload of fish, and his feeding five thousand people (in Tabgha). In 135 CE Bar Kokhba's revolt was put down. The Romans responded by banning all Jews from Jerusalem. The center of Jewish culture and learning shifted to the region of the Galilee and the Kinneret, particularly the city of Tiberias. It was in this region that the Jerusalem Talmud was compiled.[11] What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? ...: Simon is an ordinary man, a fisherman. His daily occupation is fishing on the lake of Galilee. Fished fish are a source of income for him and his family. He is a married man. Scripture says about his house and about mother-who lived there. He works with his brother Andrew. His partners in the work of the fishermen are: James and John - the sons of Zebedee. Simon lives in Capernaum. Capernaum is a city whose residents are not willing to convert their hearts to God. Jesus expressed himself about this city this way: "And you, Capernaum, which unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell. For if in Sodom happening miracles that in you have made, would be up to the present day. "(Matthew 11:23) In such a city lives Simon. Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style?
