In which region were Jesus and his disciples primarily active during his ministry?

• A. Galilee
• B. Judea
• C. Samaria
• D. Perea

Answer: (A)

The main idea is where Jesus spent most of his teaching and work with his followers during the early and longest stretch of his public ministry. That place was Galilee, the northern region of ancient Israel. He and his disciples carried out many of their key activities there—calling fishermen as followers along the Sea of Galilee, teaching in Galilean towns like Capernaum, Nazareth, and Cana, and performing numerous miracles in that area. The Sermon on the Mount and many early miracles are associated with Galilee, making it the central base for his ministry.

While Jesus did travel to Judea (including Jerusalem) for certain events and encounters, those periods form a smaller portion of the overall ministry. He also met people in Samaria and even traveled to Perea at times, but these were not the primary region of activity.
