John 6: 1,23
1:
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
16:
And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
17:
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18:
And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
19:
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20:
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21:
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22:
The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23:
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
24:
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25:
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26:
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27:
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28:
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29:
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30:
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31:
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32:
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33:
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34:
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35:
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36:
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37:
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38:
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39:
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 21:1
1:
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
Tiberias - Christ's obedience
Tiberias gives pause to the rememberance that is never documented that Christ entered this city though it was the capital of the region. As Christ was sent to be obedient to the law of God, He obeyed to the very end and that included not visiting the unclean city of Tiberias. Consider these passages on the obedience of Christ and His sinlessness:
Philippians 2:5-11
5:
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9:
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11:
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 5:8-9
8:
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9:
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
2 Corinthians 5:21
21:
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
I Peter 2:22
21:
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Romans 8:3
3:
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
I John 3:5
5:
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
