Jesus’ journeys in John
Between Galilee and Jerusalem, in the order John tells · 17 stops · ≈ 980 km in straight lines

Lines join the stops in the order of the text — the roads themselves are not known. Dashed: by ship. Pale: the site is uncertain.

Each point is the most likely site (OpenBible.info); a pale point means the identification is uncertain. Places whose site is unknown are not on the map.
