Perea definition
Perea literally means “across” in the Greek language. It was the area across the Jordan where John the Baptist had centered his activity. It was populated by Jews after the return from the Babylonian exile. In fact, it was resettled before Galilee and many who later moved to Galilee had first settled in Perea. It is for this reason that the Roman Empire had made Herod Antipas ruler of both Galilee and Perea. What impact did Jesus have on the people of Perea?
