3) MT. PRECIPICE
Summary: Located just outside the southern edge of Nazareth, Mt. Precipice offers several
biblical narratives, both from the Old and New Testaments. First, the view from the mountain
provides a visual of Mt. Carmel (Elijah) to the west, the Jezreel Valley below, and Mt. Tabor
(traditional site of the Transfiguration) and the Sea of Galilee to the east. Second, this is the
spot widely believed to be the place in Luke 4 where Jesus was chased out of the Nazareth
synagogue to the brow of a cliff until he escaped “through the crowd and went on his way”.
Readings: 1 Kings 18:19-39, Judges 4:6, 12-16, Luke 4:28-29, Luke 9:28-36
