El primer lago es dulce En sus aguas abundan los peces; lo rodean prados, bosques y hermosos jardines... Sobre él los árboles extienden sus ramas, y avanzan sus raíces sedientas para beber las aguas saludables. En sus playas los niños juegan en grupos, como jugaban cuando Jesús estaba allí.

Jesús amaba este mar. Contemplándolo, muchas veces predicó sus parábolas. En un valle vecino dio de comer a cinco mil personas con cinco panes y algunos peces. Criação Ria Slides

Las personas edifican sus casas cerca de él y los pájaros sus nidos. Las cristalinas aguas de un brazo del Jordán, que descienden saltando de los cerros, forman este mar que ríe y canta bajo la caricia del sol. Las personas edifican sus casas cerca de él y los pájaros sus nidos. Criação Ria Slides

En sus aguas hay peces abundantes que son alimento de cuantos viven en sus orillas The third and largest category of indigenous fish is the musht, which means “comb” in Arabic, because the five species of this group have a long dorsal fin that looks like a comb. The biggest, the most common and the most important of these is the Tilapia Galilea , which can reach a length of 1.5 feet and weigh about 4.5 pounds. The body has a silvery color, which gives it the Arabic nickname musht abiad , meaning white musht. With the cooling of the waters of the lake as winter starts, the musht congregate and move in shoals, especially toward the northern part of the lake and the warm springs. When the water warms up in the spring, they disperse and we find pairs of these fish living together for as long as two months—a phenomenon unusual for fish. After a prolonged courtship, the pair digs a hollow in the soft bottom of the lake near the shore or in a lagoon and deposits its eggs. After fertilization, the parents take the eggs into their mouths for two or three weeks, until they hatch. Even after the young are hatched, the parents keep watch over the young fry for a few days; this is the source of its modern Hebrew name amnun — am in Hebrew meaning nurse, and nun meaning fish.

In this episode, the tax collectors come to Capernaum to collect the half-shekel Temple tax that each Jew was required to pay annually. Jesus tells Peter, “Go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel; take that and give it to them for me and yourself.” The musht was probably given the name St. Peter’s fish because of this miracle. However, this cannot have been the fish Peter caught with a hook and line. The reason is simple: Musht feeds on plankton and is not attracted by other food. It is therefore caught with nets, and not with hook and line. The fishermen on the lake have, since time immemorial, used a hook baited with sardine to fish for barbels, which are predators and bottom feeders. Peter almost surely caught a barbel. There can be only one explanation for the confusing change of name. It was good for tourism! The Sea of Galilee has always attracted pilgrims; musht (today raised mostly in ponds) is part of the unique local cuisine. It is delicious, especially when freshly fried. In ancient times, just as today, the fishing boats delivered their catch to the eating places on shore. Indeed, the proverbial metaphor for speed in the Talmud is “as from the sea into the frying pan.” This expression was part of daily speech in Tiberias and clearly refers to musht and not barbels; the latter are best when boile 7 Criação Ria Slides

¿A qué se debe esta enorme diferencia entre dos mares vecinos? No se debe al río Jordán; porque el agua que lanza, tanto en uno como en el otro mar, es muy buena. Tampoco se debe al suelo que les sirve de cama, ni a las tierras que lo circundan. Criação Ria Slides
