- Galilee (/ˈɡælɪliː/; Hebrew: הַגָּלִיל, romanized: hagGālīl; Latin: Galilaea; Arabic: الجليل, romanized: al-Jalīl) is a region located in northern Israel and southern Lebanon consisting of two parts: the Upper Galilee (הגליל העליון, ha-Galil ha-Elyon; الجليل الأعلى, al-Jalīl al-Aʿlā) and the Lower Galilee (גליל תחתון, Galil Taḫton; الجليل الأسفل, al-Jalīl al-Asfal).
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
