Kursi Bible Teaching: Demon Possessed Man Healed, 2,000 Pigs Run into the Sea of Galilee and Drown
See the place and hear the moving story about how Christ healed a demon-possessed man and cast the demons into a heard of 2,000 pigs who ran down a steep hill into the Sea of Galilee.
Location
1. Kursi is the place where two demon-possessed men were healed.
2. The demons who lived in these men were cast into a herd of pigs that ran down a steep bank into the sea.
3. It took place on the east side of the Sea of Galilee in the region of the Gerasenes or Gadarenes. This place was also called Kurshi in Hebrew and Kursy in Arabic.
4. It was in the region of the Decapolis.
5. The Decapolis was made up of 10 Roman cities that functioned like city-states. It was a region outside of Jewish authority and inhabited by Jews and Gentiles.
6. It was an immoral area that represented all that sinful humanity had to offer. Therefore, it was considered unclean to the Jews.
7. The caves where the demon-possessed men lived can be seen on the hillside above Kursi.
8. Today, this site contains the ruins of the largest Byzantine monastery complex in Israel. It dates from the middle of the 5th century and was built to commemorate what took place here.
Historical Background
1. Jesus and His disciples were coming from the Capernaum area where Jesus had just performed many miracles and preached about the parables of the kingdom.
2. On the boat ride to this area, Jesus performed an astounding miracle of calming the sea and storm.
Matthew 8:23–27: And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, Save us, Lord; we are perishing. And he said to them, Why are you afraid, O you of little faith? Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?
3. This event is the most detailed account of an exorcism (casting out demons) in the Bible.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Israel, Golan: Nationalpark Kursi
Der Ort Kursi (arab. Thron, Sessel, s. Form der Kippe), in biblischer Zeit Gerasa oder Gergessa, spielt in der christlichen Überlieferung eine bedeutende Rolle beim Heilswirken Jesu. Hier soll er das sog. Schweinewunder vollzogen haben. Er hat ein oder zwei Männer von Dämonen (Legion) befreit und diese in eine Schweineherde fahren lassen, die sich daraufhin über eine Klippe gestürzt hat. (Mk 5:1-20, Mt 8:28–34, Lk 8:26-39). Dieses Wunder wird seit Alters her hier verortet. Schon früh wurde dieser Ort zu einer Pilgerstätte. Man baute ein Kloster mit einer prachtvollen Klosterkirche im byzantinischen Stil und am Ort der Austreibung auf der Klippe eine Kapelle. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte haben die Gebäude gelitten, nicht zuletzt durch Erdbeben und die Zerstörung der bildlichen Darstellungen in den Mosaiken durch die Moslems. Die Reste dieser Gebäude sind heute im gleichnamigen Nationalpark (Kursi) zu besichtigen.

The Sea of Galilee Overview Tour: Magdala, Tabgha, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Kursi, Gennesaret.
Why is the Sea of Galilee so special? Find out why is the high-quality video!
Location
1. The Sea of Galilee is located in the northern part of Israel known as the Galilee region. Therefore, it’s called the Sea of Galilee.
2. It is also referred to in Scripture by other names like Ginnosar, Lake of Gennesar, Gennesaret, Sea of Chinneroth, Kinneret, and Sea of Tiberias.
3. It’s about 70 miles (115 Km.) north of Jerusalem and about 27 miles (45 Km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.
4. It is a freshwater lake about 8 miles (13 km.) wide by about 12 miles (19 km.) long, and 150 ft. (46 m.) deep.
5. It is located about 700 ft. (213 m.) below sea level.
6. It is the main freshwater source for much of Israel.
7. Because of its location, storms can arise quickly and drop down onto its surface without much warning.
8. The Sea of Galilee was located on a main crossroad of the known world during Christ ministry on earth. This international highway was called the “Via Maris” (Way of the Sea), and linked travel between the three continents of, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
9. Travelers from these 3 continents were forced to use this route as there were few other options for traveling to and from each continent. This was so because there was a desert to the east that was impassible due to lack of water, and the Mediterranean Sea was located to the west which was not a realistic option for travel as it was expensive, and ships were scarce.
10. The Via Maris passed right along the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, and there are old ruins and markers showing its existence.
11. The north shore of the Sea of Galilee was even more traveled than the roads and routes leading through Jerusalem.
12. Oftentimes, we might think Christ was hiding out somewhere in a remote location. However, just the opposite was true. He chose the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee (and Capernaum was located at a key place along this route) as a center stage so His message would reach as many people as possible in the world.
13. By spending most of His ministry time in the northern Galilee area, Christ’s miracles would travel by word of mouth to the ends of the earth. This laid the groundwork and sowed the seeds of the Gospel to the rest of the known world so that the evangelization work done later by the apostles would be easier and more acceptable to those who heard the message about Christ.
Historical Background
1. Abraham entered the Promised Land through the gateway of the Sea of Galilee when he first journeyed from Ur of the Chaldeans.
2. In Matthew 4 we find that Jesus established his home ministry base in the town of Capernaum which is located on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.
3. At least 6 of the 12 disciples were from right around the Sea of Galilee. These were Peter, Andrew, James, John, Matthew, and Philip.
4. According to Acts 1:11, the rest of the disciples were from the Galilee area as well.

Kursi Gergesa | iholyland.com
Find All Holy Land Churches at Kursi Gergasi is a part of the National Park system in Israel. It is located about midway along the eastern shore of the Kinerret. The name Kursi is the modern name of the site, known in Herodian/Roman times as Gergesa. Gergesa is associated with two miracles reported in the Gospel of St. Mark. Kursi, like most major excavation sites, was discovered by accident in 1970. The Israeli government was building a new road to connect the Kinerret to the Golan Heights following the occupation of the Golan during the Six Day War of 1967. As the initial road grading was being done, Mendel Nun, a fisherman from Kibbutz En Gev, noticed small tiles were appearing in the dirt being removed and stopped the preparation for the road.

Kursi, Golan Heights
Kursi (Byzantine Greek Κυρσοί) is an archaeological site containing the ruins of a Byzantine monastery and identified by tradition as the site of Jesus' Miracle of the Swine. The site is now an Israeli national park located in the Israel-occupied side of the Golan Heights. Kursi takes its name from the Talmudic site.[1] A marble slab with Aramaic text discovered in December 2015 seems to indicate that the settlement had, as of ca. 500 CE, a Jewish or Judeo-Christian population.

Sea of Galilee Boat Ride, From Tiberias to Kibbutz Ginosar
Riding the boats to the Jesus Boat Museum in Kibbutz Ginosar from Tiberias, Israel. It was March 2009, cool to warm and beautiful. They fly the flags of the tour groups so we seen about 8 different countiries flags on the open sea. It's also called Lake Kinneret and it's more a Lake than an in-land sea. Nice boat ride and the tour bus meets you on the other side and from there, one can visit The Church of The Multiplication, Mount of The Beatitudes, Capernaum and Church of The Primacy of St. Peter. It's The Golan Heights and it's lush and resembles California.
