Jesus' ministry spans from Nazareth in the Galilee region northward to Caesarea Philippi, and southward through Samaria, the Jordan valley, and finally to Jerusalem and the Judean regions. The map window covers the area from the coast of Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Golan Heights and Transjordan in the east, and from the southern Galilee to the Judean hills.
The narrative follows the Gospel accounts, which emphasize Galilee as the site of Jesus' public ministry and Jerusalem as the place of his passion and resurrection. Modern archaeological research continues to refine the identification of biblical sites with contemporary locations.
