May we follow their bold and trusting example even in the midst of unbelief in the culture around us. Fish can be turned in for Gemstones, Chthonic Keys. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades." Therefore, Bethsaida is now most remembered for its stubborn lack of faith.īecause disciples (Peter, Andrew, and Philip) hailed from Bethsaida, obviously not everyone in the city rejected Jesus' teaching. Fishing in Hades gives you fish, obviously, but you can turn them into the chef back at the House of Hades after a run to get some rewards. But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. Jesus said, "“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. For this stubborn unbelief, Bethsaida (as well as Capernaum and Chorazin) was cursed by the Lord in Luke 10:13–15. "Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him" (John 12:37). He healed a blind man (Mark 8:22–26), walked on water (Mark 6:45–52), and fed the five thousand (Luke 9:10–11). Besides calling these men to become disciples, Jesus also performed many miracles in Bethsaida. John 1:44 records that Philip and brothers Peter and Andrew were from Bethsaida. Jesus did much of His ministry in the three cities of Bethsaida, Capernaum, and Chorazin. So Geshur, and the town of Bethsaida, were historically a location of safety and refuge for the Israelites. This area was under the jurisdiction of Philip the Tetrarch rather than Herod Antipas at the time. Interestingly, Jesus also withdrew to this area after John the Baptist was killed (Matthew 14:13). Therefore, Absalom fled to Geshur after killing his brother (2 Samuel 13:37–38). In fact, one of David's wives, Maacah, was the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, and she became the mother of Absalom (2 Samuel 3:3). The ancient kingdom of Geshur was friendly to the Israelites (Joshua 13:13). However, we do know that Bethsaida had been the capital of the ancient kingdom of Geshur during the Old Testament times and that after Jesus' day the town's name changed to Julias.

Unfortunately, the exact location has been lost to history. After obtaining the Rod of Fishing, the Prince of the Underworld can cast it into the depths of the lava and rivers of souls. When he fished at the Ice River of Skeletons, he received the attack power of Blobfish. As probably the last game that one might expect to have a fishing mechanic, Hades surprisingly does, and even more humorously, it functions almost identically to Animal Crossing's fishing system.

Bethsaida is known as the hometown of at least three of Jesus' disciples and the location of many of His miracles. When he fished at the Death Sea of Hades, he got the voice of Naga Siren. It sat on a hillside where the upper Jordan River ran into the Sea of Galilee. It was the name of a small fishing village on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee. What is the significance of Bethsaida in the Bible?īethsaida means "house of hunting/fishing" in Hebrew.
