Map of Jesus' Final Week

From the entry into Jerusalem to the cross and resurrection — the final week of Jesus' life.

This journey has 5 stages through 4 places. It begins at Bethany and ends at Jerusalem; joining each stop with a straight line on the map gives about 10 km. In today's terms the route crosses Palestine and Israel. The actual route followed roads and terrain, so treat this distance as a sense of scale rather than a measured itinerary.
