Matthew 4:23-25 and Jesus' Syrian Fan Base
And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Matthew 4:23-25
Yeshua began his ministry in the Galilee, teaching and healing in the towns where he grew up. Although people from Galilee, Judea, and the Decapolis all followed him, it was only in Syria that his fame spread in those early days. Why Syria? The answer lies in the geography, politics, and culture of the region, but especially in human nature.
