*** The Arrest, Trials and Crucifixion of Jesus - A Possible Sequence. ***

*** The Arrest, Trials and Crucifixion of Jesus - A Possible Sequence. ***
The Gospel accounts agree that Jesus was arrested, brought before Jewish and Roman authorities for interrogation and sentencing, and led outside the walls of Jerusalem to be crucified. What is not clear is the sequence of the events of Jesus’ trial(s) or their location within Jerusalem.
About all that is sure is that the Via Dolorosa, a modern series of narrow, arched and stepped streets leading from the Sisters of Zion Convent (the location of the Antonia Fortress) to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Golgotha), is a route more of faith than fact. The uncertainty of the known route aside, the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion and Resurrection remain the founding fact of Christianity." (Greatness Grace & Glory - Paul H.Wright)

** History **
Megiddo is mentioned by name in an Egyptian inscription from the 15th century BC. In 1479, the Pharaoh Thutmose III launched a military campaign against the Canaanite rulers who had rebelled against the Egyptian regime and had formed a coalition under the leadership of the King of Kadesh. Megiddo was the key rebel city on the main north-south route. On the walls of the temple at No-amon, that is, Karnak, there is an impressive description of this campaign, which includes a debate regarding the direction from which it would be best to attack Megiddo, and a list of the booty taken.

Several hundred years later, after two more Canaanite cities had come and gone, one of them perhaps mentioned in the Song of Deborah (Judges 5:19), King Solomon built one of his three key military cities here; the other two were Gezer and Hazor (1 Kings 9 ff.) The excavated gates of all three cities are very similar. Excavations are continuing at the tel and the archaeologists are not of one mind as to how much of what found in the palaces, stables and water systems should be attributed to King Solomon and how much to King Ahab.

King Josiah, who tried to halt the military advance of Pharaoh Necho II into Assyria at the Megiddo Pass, fell here in battle, and Megiddo never resumed its past greatness. During the Mishnaic period, a Jewish village, Kefar Othna’i, was close by. The Sixth Roman Legion camped there and the village became known as Legio Maximilianopolis, a name from which the Arab village, el Lejjun, is derived. General Allenby broke through here in his advance into the Jezreel Valley in World War I and gained the nickname “Lord of Megiddo.” Lejjun was evacuated in the wake of the failed attack by the Arab military leader Fawzi al-Kaukji against Mishmar Ha’emek in the War of Independence. After the war, Kibbutz Megiddo was founded on the south side of the tel.

“So Great a Cloud of Witnesses.” Traditions regarding the founders of the Church abound.
The chart shown here presents a select and representative sample, indicating the extent to which the Christian community spread by the end of the first century A.D. and the dangers to life and limb that its leaders faced in the process.

Tradition holds that only a few died a natural death. Several were remembered as having taken up their own cross; most succumbed to the kinds of deaths that the writer of Hebrews noted were part and parcel of a life of faith (Heb 11:32–40): “For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart” (Heb 12:4).

** Map of Jesus activity around the Sea of Galilee.
Apart from several journeys, Jesus' entire activity was concentrated around the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 15:29; Mark 1:16, 6:31).
On the Sea of Galilee there are frequent storms. During one such storm, Jesus slept while sailing across the lake and upon his awakening the sea was suddenly calmed. The boat arrived near the ancient settlement of Gergesa (Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 8:23-27; Luke 8:22-24). Other events recorded in the Gospels pertaining to the Sea of Galilee and its surrounding are the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes in “the lonely places” near the town of Bethsaida (Luke 9:10-17), the story of Jesus walking on the water, and Peter's attempt to follow his example (Mark 6:45-51; Matthew 15:22-23; and John 6:15-21).
