What is the Cove of the Sower?

Between Capernaum and Tabgha is a place barely noticed on a map. The only want to get there is to park at Capernaum's entrance and hike along the shoreline—the perfect activity for a sunny spring Friday.

There's so much to see and explore on the walk:

 

And then, there it is:

A perfect little cove with a view of the sea and Mount Arbel and the Horns of Hattin to the right:

According to Mark's account, Jesus got in a boat and sat in the lake, preaching to the crowd on shore. Bibleplaces.com says that sound tests have been conducted here, and have confirmed that the acoustics here show it is possible for someone to speak by the water and be heard by mutitudes. In fact, 5-7,000 people could have sat below the modern road and more than double could have been on the whole hillside—and all would have heard Him!

Could this be where Jesus gave this teaching?

What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

"Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: 'Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.'
Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

Mark 4:1-9
