Distances from Jerusalem

May 17, 2021 by Krisan Marotta

Distances from Jerusalem - Bible Study Tools | WednesdayintheWord.com
Map from Bible-History Online

Sometimes it’s helpful to know the approximate distance between the New Testament cities. For example, consider the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), from a Bible Atlas you can learn that the road between Jericho and Jerusalem is a 17-mile trek through the desert.  Only the poor walked it.  Everyone else rode – particularly the upper-class and priests were members of the upper class.  Jesus’ audience would assume the priest is riding a donkey or a mule.
