By the Sea of Galilee Jesus feeds five thousand with five barley loaves and two fish, then walks on the water in the night. In the synagogue at Capernaum he says, 'I am the bread of life'; many disciples turn back, and Peter answers, 'Lord, to whom shall we go?'

- Textually stated
The Gospels' 'sea' is this freshwater lake, fed and drained by the Jordan.
The Gospels call it the Sea of Galilee, the lake of Gennesaret and the Sea of Tiberias; its identity has never been in doubt.
