They were not. "Beyond Jordan" means east of the Jordan, which formed the eastern boundary of Palestine. Zebulon and Nephthali were both situated west of the Jordan. 123 Were Peter, Andrew, James and John with Jesus when he taught in the synagogue at Capernaum? Mark: They were (i, 16-21). Luke: They were not; for they had not yet been called (iv, 31; v, 1-11). 124 Did Jesus perform many miracles in Galilee at the beginning of his ministry? Matthew: "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them" (iv, 23, 24). Mark: "He healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many devils" (i, 34). Luke: "All they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many" (iv, 40, 41). John declares that his curing the nobleman's son (iv, 46-54), which was not until the second mission in Galilee, was the second miracle he performed there, his miracle at Cana being the only one he performed during the first period of his ministry. According to this Evangelist (iv, 45) all the notoriety he had at this time in Galilee, had been achieved, not by any miracles he had performed in that country, but through the reports of some Galileans who had seen his works at Jerusalem in Judea. In regard to these conflicting statements of the Evangelists, Farrar says: "At this point we are again met by difficulties in the chronology, which are not only serious, but to the certain solution of which there appears to be no clew" (Life of Christ, p. 124). 125 Did he perform any miracles before he called his disciples? Luke: He did (iv, 40, 41; v, 1-11). John: "And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage [at Cana, where he turned the water into wine].... This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana" (ii, 1-11) Luke declares that he had performed many miracles before the first disciples were called; John declares that his disciples had been called and were with him when he performed his first miracle. 126 When was the miraculous draught of fishes made? Luke: At the beginning of his ministry (v, 6). John: Not until after his death and resurrection (xxi, 11). 127 What accident was caused by the enormous draught of fishes? Luke: "Their net brake" (v, 6). John: "For all there were so many, yet was not the net broken" (xxi, 11). In Luke and John we have two different versions of a Pythagorian legend. After comparing and noting the agreements and variations of the three versions of the legend, Strauss says:
