Mount Precipice
395 m above sea level
In the Bible
Enraged, the people in the synagogue drove Jesus out of town to the brow of the hill on which it was built, to throw Him over the cliff, but He passed through the crowd.
On hearing this, all the people in the synagogue were enraged. They got up, drove Him out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw Him over the cliff. But Jesus passed through the crowd and went on His way.Tradition
By a tradition from the Middle Ages, the place is this cliff south of the town; nearer the old town a chapel recalls Mary's fright for her Son.
