Bible Question: How far, in miles, did Jesus walk from prison to the site of his crucifixion? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, We are not told exactly how far Jesus had to walk outside the city but I do not believe it was any great distance at all. The bible only tells us that He was led out of the city. Jerusalem was considered the Holy city, the Temple of God was located there as well as God's presence. To crucify anyone inside the city would of meant defiling the city. They only had to be outside of the city to crucify anyone. Jesus was made to feel the shame of a common criminal being forced outside the city. prayon |
