Where did Jesus travel during His earthly ministry? Did He ever travel outside of Judea? Jesus of Nazareth We know that Jesus grew up in Nazareth in Galilee and that He walked everywhere He went but no one knows but God exactly how many miles Jesus walked during His earthly ministry. Neither can we know with precision every place He went during this time but some theorize that Jesus went to other places around the world. The problem with that... Read more
Where was it that Jesus walked on water? Does the Bible tell us precisely where it was at? Jesus of Nazareth We know that Jesus was from Nazareth which is in Galilee and though He was born in Bethlehem, He was not raised there but in Nazareth and His primary circuit for proclaiming the kingdom of God was in the region of Galilee. This was near the Sea of Galilee so that is likely where Jesus walked on the water.... Read more
Where did Jesus die? Where was the cross located and where did they bury Jesus? Buried with the Rich Isaiah wrote extensively about the coming Messiah, the “suffering servant” Who would bring our spiritual healing by His physical beating. Writing as if it’s already finished, Isaiah wrote “they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth” (53:9) and “He committed...

What was Jesus like growing up as a young boy? What can we learn from the Bible about this question? Born in Bethlehem Micah the Prophet prophesied that “you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days” (Micah 5:2) and “he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the...

Where did Jesus grow up? Was it in the same place that He was born? Born in Bethlehem Jesus was prophesied to be born of a virgin and also to be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1-6) which was more of a village than a city. This prophecy would have never been fulfilled unless the Roman “to be registered, each to his own town” (Luke 2:3) if Caesar Augustus had not ordered it and at this exact time so “Joseph also...

Who was present during Jesus’ baptism? Does the Bible say? Why was Jesus Baptized? I hear the question “Why was Jesus baptized since He was sinless?” Good question, but we don’t have to speculate. The best way to find the answer is to go to Scripture. When Jesus came to John the Baptist to be baptized by him, John protested by saying “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let... Read more
Who was with Jesus when He died on the cross? Before the Cross When the Jewish leaders came heavily armed to arrest Jesus while He was still in the Garden of Gethsemane, only Peter took up a sword, even though Jesus did tell him to put it down, and “Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered” (Matt 26:57) but “Peter was following him at a distance,...

Who was there to watch Jesus in His ascension up to heaven? The Ascension The Ascension is very important to Christians because it ended Jesus’ earthly ministry, even though He still actively works in His church today since He is the Head of the church, but it signaled the beginning of the work of His disciples to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20). Forty days after Jesus’ resurrection, “he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his... Read more
Who were those with Jesus when He went into the Garden Of Gethsemane to pray? The Garden Of Gethsemane The Garden Of Gethsemane is not a garden any more. It is long gone as most of it was destroyed when the Roman’s destroyed much of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. What wasn’t destroyed was quickly used up as wood, needed for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, the Garden Of Gethsemane was a dense thicket of olive trees. The... Read more
Who was present at the Mount of Transfiguration? What was the Transfiguration? The Transfiguration is recorded in Matthew 27 but also in Mark 9 and Luke 9 where Jesus’ humanity is peeled back and His Shekinah glory or the glory of God is revealed. Jesus, being both Man and God, had His divinity revealed for three of His closest disciples. He only took Peter, James, and John with Him to a remote, mountain and only these three were able to...
