Nazareth, where Jesus lived, was located in Galilee, the northernmost province.
Galilee was mountainous but had a low-lying area along the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias or Gennesaret.
The region of Galilee was a crossroads for caravans traveling to Damascus, resulting in a diverse mix of foreigners and cultures.

The Samaritans did not recognize the religious importance of Jerusalem, while the Jews considered them heretics.
Judea was home to Jerusalem, the regional capital and a city of great religious significance.

The population of Palestine was deeply religious but had different interpretations of religious practices.

The religious leaders - priests, scribes, and Pharisees - taught and defended the values of the temple, the law, and purity, but impurity threatened from all sides.
The practice of religion, with its hundreds of laws and norms, became a burden for most people, making them feel rejected and sinful rather than joyful in the presence of God.
A large percentage of the population was excluded due to economic, social, ethnic, political, and religious reasons, including foreigners, tax collectors, soldiers, prostitutes, sinners, the sick, women, and peasants.
This was the world into which Jesus was born.

bien
jesús de nazaret nació y vivió en la
zona que hasta el día de hoy se la
conoce como palestina a lo largo de la
historia esta región recibió diferentes
nombres
judeh a canaán israel tierra santa todas
estas denominaciones hacen referencia al
mismo territorio aunque sus límites sean
algo difusos y no siempre coincidan
entre sí
[Música]
desde el año 64 antes de cristo- esta
región formaba parte del imperio romano
se trata de una zona montañosa que en
esa época cobraba gran importancia por
lo que significaba en las comunicaciones
y el comercio toda la zona está
recorrida por el río jordán que
desemboca en el mar muerto palestina en
tiempos de jesús estaba dividida en
cuatro grandes provincias
galilea samaría judea y perea
galilea era la provincia más al norte de
toda la zona las ciudades principales de
galilea eran las de naymick anna y entre
ellas se encuentra la aldea de nazaret
en la que vivió jesús nazaret que daba
aproximadamente a unos 140 kilómetros de
jerusalén
galilea es una zona montañosa pero su
parte más baja se encuentra a las
orillas del mar de galilea que también
es conocido como mar de tiberíades o
genesaret esta llanura era un camino de
paso de las caravanas de comerciantes
que iban hacia la ciudad de damasco por
esta razón en toda la zona de galilea
había gran cantidad de extranjeros y se
percibían múltiples culturas y
costumbres por esta razón todos los
habitantes de galilea eran considerados
paganos ya que sus costumbres religiosas
eran menos rigurosas como consecuencia
de este entramado cultural
las casas de los campesinos de la zona
eran pequeñas y las grandes extensiones
de tierra generalmente pertenecían al
rey sus familiares o algún comerciante
rico la provincia de samaría estaba
habitada por población de diferente
origen si bien había en toda la zona una
gran mezcla de razas los samaritanos se
consideraban auténticos judíos había una
gran rivalidad entre esta provincia y la
de judea ya que a lo largo de los años
se habían generado diversas situaciones
de conflicto e invasión que habían
alimentado la rivalidad los samaritanos
negaban la importancia religiosa de
jerusalén y los judíos tomaban a los
samaritanos como herejes
en judea se encuentra la ciudad de
jerusalén capital de la región y ciudad
en la que se encuentra el templo
jerusalém es una ciudad rodeada de
desiertos y por lo tanto una zona con
gran cantidad de pobreza la importancia
de la zona es fundamentalmente religiosa
ya que no tiene ubicación estratégica
para el comercio ni las comunicaciones
la tierra estaba en pocas manos y por
esa razón toda esta zona había sido un
lugar de gran convulsión social entre el
año 57 al año 37 antes de cristo- en tan
sólo 20 años había habido seis revueltas
populares en galilea el pueblo seguía a
cualquiera que le prometiera liberarse
del impuesto que roma había creado desde
la invasión al territorio cada una de
las provincias tenía un gobernador que
respondía al imperio romano y que por lo
general ejercían la autoridad
reprimiendo con gran violencia cualquier
situación que amenazar a la estabilidad
del orden político había gran pobreza y
violencia como consecuencia del sistema
político y económico en el que se vivió
en cuanto a lo religioso también había
grandes conflictos toda la población de
palestina era muy creyente pero no todos
comprendían la religiosidad del mismo
modo había en aquel entonces diferentes
grupos de personas que tenían mucho que
ver en la vida religiosa del pueblo por
un lado encontramos a los saduceos que
toman su nombre de sadop que fue sumo
sacerdote en tiempos de salomón este
grupo era integrado por las familias
sacerdotales dirigentes los principales
comerciantes y las familias más ricas
del campo era un grupo sumamente
elitista con gran poder económico e
influencias políticas otro grupo era el
de los sacerdotes ellos habían
organizado al pueblo luego de la
invasión babilonia en el año 538 antes
de cristo- y desde aquel entonces tenían
un poder político y social que persistía
aún en tiempos de jesús el sacerdocio no
era una opción vocacional sino
hereditaria según la ley sólo podían ser
sacerdotes aquellos que fueran
descendientes de aarón el hermano de
moisés
por esta razón formaban un círculo
cerrado sin embargo a partir de la
invasión del imperio romano el
gobernador tenía la posibilidad de
nombrar al sumo sacerdote desde ese
entonces el cargo dejó de ser
hereditario la mayoría de ellos vivían
en jerusalén lejos de galilea y eran los
responsables del culto en el templo
los ancianos aparecen siempre vinculados
a los sacerdotes sin embargo la palabra
anciano en el contexto del evangelio no
necesariamente hace referencia a la edad
son los jefes de las familias más ricas
e influyentes de jerusalén tenían
alianzas con el imperio romano pues con
ese orden político ellos lograban
beneficios económicos los fariseos eran
un grupo religioso caracterizado por su
estricto conocimiento y cumplimiento de
la ley para ellos la relación con dios
tenía esta característica y velaban
porque todo el pueblo también la
cumpliera ellos mismos habían terminado
de configurar un código legal que
contenía 613 leyes que regulaban la vida
y el comportamiento del pueblo quienes
no cumplían estas normas pasaban
automáticamente a ser considerados
impuros y por lo tanto excluidos de la
vida social y religiosa
por último encontramos a los escribas
ellos también eran llamados doctores de
la ley eran los responsables de la
enseñanza y dedicaban su vida al estudio
y la enseñanza de la ley de dios sabían
casi de memoria todo lo que enseñaban y
eran reconocidos por su conocimiento en
la sociedad también había grupos
definidos por un lado estaban los
publicanos o recaudadores de impuestos
en aquel tiempo los recaudadores no eran
empleados del estado sino comerciantes
que adquirían o compraban el derecho a
recaudar impuestos pagaban una
determinada suma de dinero al imperio y
lo que obtuvieran por encima de esa suma
pasaba a ser dinero de su propiedad era
frecuente que el pueblo hebreo no
conociera el sistema romano de
recaudación de impuestos pero tampoco se
animaba a reclamar por temor a un
castigo violento esto llevaba a que
hubiera grandes abusos los recaudadores
no siempre eran gente adinerada en
ocasiones eran personas pobres que eran
contratadas por jefes de las grandes
familias de la zona
sin embargo quedaban marginados de la
vida social y religiosa pues eran
considerados
como traidores los zelotes eran un grupo
radicalizado que quería liberar al
pueblo hebreo del dominio romano querían
purificar el templo y la sociedad de la
corrupción y las idolatrías eran
profundamente religiosos pero en tiempos
de jesús aún no lograban conformar una
organización sólida eran grupos
clandestinos con una sólida ideología
religiosa y política que buscaba la
liberación de israel
el pueblo estaba por lo tanto a merced
de las circunstancias no existía defensa
ni prevención en caso de una enfermedad
mala cosecha plaga u otros desastres
nadie lo ayudaba era muy sencillo quedar
ubicado por fuera de la vida social como
consecuencia de alguna inconducta
producto del desconocimiento de la ley o
como consecuencia de la necesidad a
causa del agobio económico que el
imperio generaba la necesidad de comer
de vivir de alimentar a la familia
obligaba al pueblo a pagar los impuestos
a comprar mercaderías a conseguir empleo
a hospedar visitantes todo ésto
debilitaba la identidad religiosa y los
llevaba a moverse en los márgenes de la
ley hebrea los sacerdotes escribas y
fariseos eran los portavoces de la
religión oficial enseñaban y defendían
los valores del templo la ley y la
pureza pero la impureza amenazaba por
todos lados y la práctica de la religión
con sus centenares de leyes y normas se
convirtió en un peso que hacía sufrir a
la mayoría de la población en lugar de
sentirse con agrado ante dios el pueblo
se sentía recha
y pecador un gran porcentaje de la
población estaba marginado por causas
económicas sociales étnicas políticas
religiosas se excluía a los extranjeros
a los publicanos a los soldados a las
prostitutas y pecadores a los enfermos a
las mujeres a los campesinos en un mundo
político que vulneraba a las personas el
sistema religioso se encargaba de
excluirlos completamente este fue el
mundo en el que le tocó nacer a jesús
