Jesus walked and walked and walked. Traveling was a major part of Jesus’ experience.<\/p>\n
First, there was feast travel<\/strong>. At an early age, Jesus traveled to Jerusalem with his father Joseph (Lk 2:41). And since Jesus kept the Mosaic Law, he made\u00a0three trips a year (Ex. 23:17) to Jerusalem\u00a0for more than a decade before he started preaching.\u00a0The trip to Jerusalem was\u00a0a common travel scenario for\u00a0the people Jesus lived among.<\/p>\n Teaching tours<\/strong>. The Gospel of Luke describes how Jesus went from village to village\u00a0in Galilee preaching\u00a0about the kingdom of God. Luke also mentions that the 12 disciples as well as some women went with Jesus (8:1-3). The region of Galilee must have accommodated co-ed travelers, meaning that necessities such as\u00a0safe roads\u00a0and separate quarters were available.<\/p>\n Withdrawals<\/strong>. During the summer of Jesus’ last year, he went to Tyre and Sidon and then to the Decapolis both outside Galilee.\u00a0After the Feast of Dedication in the winter, Jesus\u00a0went to the remote place where John had baptized\u00a0years before\u00a0(John 10:40).\u00a0Later that last\u00a0winter, Jesus and his disciples withdrew to a wilderness border town called Ephraim (John 11:54) where no one found him until he re-emerged traveling to Jerusalem for the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread.<\/p>\n In all of this travel, Jesus used that most humble and human form of transportation, his own two feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jesus walked and walked and walked.
