Thus, the work of salvation in the New Testament began in Galilee, but the [[Priest|priests]] and the [[The Pharisees|Pharisees]], who kept the [[Law of Moses|Old Testament law]], did not heed the message that Jesus preached. Since the Old Testament law strictly forbade associating with the Gentiles, many Jews in the time of Jesus looked down on the region of Galilee and treated it like a Gentile land. They blamed the fact that Jesus was from Galilee. Because Jesus grew up in [[Nazareth]], which belongs to Galilee, they ridiculed Him, calling Him “Jesus of Nazareth,” and rejected Him, claiming that a prophet would not come out of Galilee.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+1%3A45-46&version=NIV |title=John 1:45–46 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+7%3A52&version=NIV |title=John 7:52 }}</ref> The reason Jesus was captured by the people sent by the chief priests and handed over to [[Herod]], the ruler of Galilee, is because He was from Galilee.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+23%3A1-7&version=NIV |title=Luke 23:1–7 }}</ref> | Thus, the work of salvation in the New Testament began in Galilee, but the [[Priest|priests]] and the [[The Pharisees|Pharisees]], who kept the [[The Law of Moses|Old Testament law]], did not heed the message that Jesus preached.
