Jesus’ Travels to Jerusalem .

Two routes connected Galilee with Jerusalem. One passed through the Jordan Valley, crossing the Decapolis from Scythopolis to Pella, then ran along the eastern, spring-fed side of the valley through Perea, an area of Jewish settlement that, like Galilee, was governed by Herod Antipas. This route then ascended to Jerusalem via Jericho. Although the Jordan Valley was insufferably hot in the summertime, it was the preferred route for Jews who wished to avoid Samaria. The other route passed through Samaria. Jews who traveled this latter route north from Jerusalem typically spent the first night at Anuathu Borcaeus at the northern border of Judea and the second in the Esdraelon Valley, so as not to have to stay overnight in Samaria.

The northern Jordan Valley, looking east toward the hills of Transjordan (the Decapolis and Perea). (Paul H. Wright)

    The name “Jesus,” as written in Hebrew on an ossuary. (Carta collection)John records that Jesus traveled from Galilee to Jerusalem at least three times prior to his final Passover journey that led to the Cross:

• John (John 2:13–25) notes that Jesus overturned the money-changers’ tables in the Temple precinct during the Passover festival. Many scholars suggest that John placed this event—which probably happened only once, during Jesus’ last Passover journey (cf. Mt 21:12–17)—at the beginning of his Gospel in order to set the stage for an account of Jesus’ life that emphasized his ministry in Jerusalem. Immediately following his narrative of the Cleansing of the Temple, John records Jesus’ nighttime visit to Nicodemus, an influential Pharisee from Jerusalem who was a member of the Sanhedrin (Jn 3:1–21). Nicodemus became a follower of Jesus, advocating on his behalf during a later visit to Jerusalem (Jn 7:45–53) and helping to prepare his body for burial (Jn 19: 38–42).
• Returning to Jerusalem for an unnamed festival, Jesus healed a man at the Pool of Bethesda who had been lame for thirty-eight years (Jn 5:1–17). The Pool of Bethesda was a huge public water reservoir lying just outside the city wall north of the Temple Mount. Archaeological investigation suggests that this was also a site dedicated to Aesclepius, the Greco-Roman god of healing, and no doubt served the Roman soldiers garrisoned at the nearby Antonia Fortress. Perhaps the lame man had been hedging his bets, hoping for mercy from any deity who happened along. By healing the man, Jesus showed that he could meet the needs of not only the upper crust of Jerusalem society (e.g., Nicodemus), but also the down-and-out.
• Jesus also traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the fall festival of Succoth – the Festival of Booths— (Jn 7:1–39). It is not clear whether he made this visit after he had left Galilee for the final time before his crucifixion, or whether he returned to Galilee after the trip. In any case, his visit was made without fanfare, not wanting to take the risk of running afoul of the authorities. On the last, climactic day of the Succoth festival Jesus likened himself and his followers to fountains of living (i.e., spring) water (Jn 7:37–38), a powerful image for the residents of Jerusalem whose own cisterns were nearly dry at the end of the summer drought. It was apparently also on this trip that Jesus healed a man who had been born blind, asking him to wash in the Pool of Siloam (Jn 9:1–12; 2 Kgs 5:10).

After the trip to Jerusalem during which he was visited by Nicodemus, Jesus returned to Galilee by way of Samaria. On the second day of his journey he rested from the noontime heat at Sychar (Jacob’s Well), near the ruins of the Old Testament city of Shechem, in the heart of Samaria (Jn 4:1–6; Gen 33:18–19). Sychar lay beneath Mount Gerizim, the site of a Samaritan temple that had been destroyed by the Hasmonean king John Hyrcanus in 108 BC (Jn 4:19–20). Hyrcanus’s destruction was one of many factors that had bred antagonism between the Jews and the Samaritans over the centuries (cf. 2 Kgs 17:24–41; Neh 4:1–9). Like the Jews, the Samaritans considered themselves to be the true guardians of the pure Mosaic faith, basing this belief on the ties that Abraham (Gen 12:6–7), Jacob (Gen 33:18–19; Josh 24:32) and Moses (Deut 11: 26–32; Josh 8:30-35) had to the region. Jesus remained in Samaria for two days—much to the consternation of his disciples—and many believed in him (Jn 4:39–42). (JW 1:86) (JW 1:170)  (JW 2:371) (JW 2:252)

Questions for bible study groups.

• List the sequence of events in the days leading up to Jesus’ death – from his arrest to his burial.
• Locate the events on the map below.
• Why was Jesus taken before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate?

Probable route for Jesus in Jerusalem: trial, judgment and crucifixion

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a colt of a she-ass found at a village opposite Bethphage (1, top right corner of map above). He was received by the people with cries of ‘Hosanna’, which means ‘Save now’. They spread their cloaks on the road and waved palm branches in blessing.

After teaching in the Temple (2) he returned to Bethany. The synoptic Gospels place the cleansing of the Temple courts during this visit.

After the Supper, Jesus and the disciples descended to the Kidron valley (4), to Gethsemane (the ‘Oil Press’) at the foot of the Mount of Olives. There he was arrested by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, led by Judas lscariot, one of the Twelve.

Jesus was interrogated as to his status and ambitions, but though his inquisitors saw his replies as blasphemous, they were not empowered to inflict the death penalty. They decided therefore to accuse Jesus before the governor, Pontius Pilate (6), of a political offense: rebellion against the Emperor, implied in Jesus’ claim to be ‘King of the Jews.’

From there Jesus was led by Roman soldiers to Golgotha (8), traditionally a place outside the Second Wall of Jerusalem. Here he was executed according to Roman practice, by being affixed to a cross.

According to the same tradition he was buried nearby, in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea.

Gospel references: Matthew 21-27, Mark 11-15, Luke 19:28-23, John 12-19

A Big thank you to iBible Maps and Paul Fogg for letting me use a few of the maps that they have put together. I’m currently preaching through the book of Joshua and having the maps as part of the messages will help the passage come alive and not just be a slog through the names of the cities that were devoted to destruction.

Terry O’Brien, South Pointe Church, Abilene, TX

I found iBiblemaps by accident, but I am glad I did. The way the maps work and the content included with them is easy to follow and brings more clarity to understanding the history contained in the Bible. Could I have permission to use your maps and contact to supplement a Sunday school class I teach?

Thank You, Keith Griffith

“I acknowledge iBible Maps for its extensive and lucid resources, which prove to be valuable in my study and research. Further, I appreciate Paul Fogg of iBible Maps for his generosity in giving permission for the use of foundational geographical materials in my book.”

William Lam

I am a volunteer teacher of a women’s Bible study at Sun Grove Church in Elk Grove, CA. We will be studying Joshua and Judges this fall using materials from Engage Bible Studies. I am writing to ask permission to use the applicable maps for these books on slides as part of my weekly teaching wrap-ups. I also plan to send out the link to your website so that women can use the interactive features available there for each location. I appreciate the detailed information provided with your maps.

Thank you for your time, Teresa Caldwell

Deborah (Judges) Click the illustration to view the animation.

For nearly four hundred years following the invasion of  Canaan  in c.1406BC,  Israel  was a loose confederation of self-governing tribes. Far from being a strong and unified nation, the new inhabitants of  Canaan  consisted of scattered groups of tribal clans, often separated from each other by rival settlements of Canaanites, Amorites and Philistines who had occupied the area before the arrival of the Israelites. The ‘conquered’ land of  Canaan  remained dotted with ‘enemy’ strongholds such as  Jebus  ( Jerusalem ),  Gezer  and  Megiddo , and the Philistine cities of  Gaza ,  Gath ,  Ashkelon ,  Ashdod  and  Ekron  were little more than a short march away.

Frequently the rival groups clashed, and often the Philistines and Canaanites became dominant, demanding subservience from the Israelites. Throughout this period, intermarriage between the Israelites and their neighbours was common. The one thing uniting the Israelite tribes was their common worship of Yahweh, the God of  Israel , and the Bible blames the failure of the Israelites to defeat their neighbours on intermarriage and the assimilation of foreign customs – including the worship of foreign gods.

During particularly difficult times of subjection and hardship, God frequently raised up inspirational leaders who cajoled the Israelites into concerted action against their powerful neighbours. These leaders – strong characters such as Othniel, Deborah, Gideon, Jephthah and Samson – became known as the ‘judges’. The term is misleading, however, as while these leaders no doubt dispensed justice within their own local area, they had no jurisdiction over the other tribes of  Israel . Even Samuel, the last and probably the most powerful of the ‘judges’, confined his ‘judge’s circuit’ to ‘sittings’ at  Ramah, Bethel, Gilgal  and  Mizpah  – all within a 15 mile / 24 km radius of his home in the central hill country of  Ephraim , north of  Jerusalem  (see 1 Samuel 7:15-17).

Jacob continues to live in Canaan, at Hebron.

Jacob gives his favorite son Joseph an expensive multi-colored coat. This makes his brothers very jealous. Joseph dreams about his brothers’ sheaves of wheat bowing down to his  sheaf, and when he tells his brothers, it fuels their jealousy. When he tells them about eleven stars bowing down before him, the eleven brothers are furious.

Genesis 37:1-11

Joseph’s brothers take the family’s flocks to graze in the less arid hill country near Shechem.

Joseph, now aged seventeen, arrives at Shechem but the brothers have left. 

He finds them grazing the flocks on the fertile pastures near Dothan – on the plain between the hills of Samaria and the Mount Carmel range.

The brothers plot their revenge and throw Joseph into a dry well.

Genesis 37:17-24

The brothers see a group of Ishmaelite traders travelling from Gilead to Egypt. Their camels are loaded with spices and resins (‘Balm of Gilead’). Reuben – the eldest – had persuaded the brothers  not  to kill Joseph; so they sell him to the Ishmaelites as a slave.

Genesis 37:25-27

Joseph is ultimately sold on to some Midianite merchants and taken to Egypt (along The Way of the Sea).

The brothers dip Joseph’s coat in blood, then trick Jacob into believing that Joseph has been killed by a wild animal.

On reaching Egypt in c.1683BC, Joseph is sold by the Midianite traders to Potiphar, captain of the Pharaoh’s palace guard.

Genesis 37:28-36
