Jesus’ journeys in Mark
From the Jordan to Jerusalem, in the order Mark tells · 15 stops · ≈ 730 km in straight lines
The Gospels do not all tell Jesus’ journeys in the same order. This route follows one Gospel only and does not combine it with the others.
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.
