Jesus' earthly story begins in the town of Bethlehem in the Roman province of Judea (Matthew 2:1). A threat to kill the infant king led Joseph to take his family to Egypt (2:14). When they returned, God led them to settle in Nazareth, in Galilee (2:22-23). At about age 30, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River and was tempted by Satan in the Judean wilderness (3:13; 4:1). Jesus set up his base of operations in Capernaum (4:12-13), and from there he ministered throughout Israel, telling parables, teaching about the Kingdom, and healing the sick. He traveled to Gadara and healed two demon-possessed men (8:28-34); fed more than 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish on the shores of Galilee near Bethsaida (14:15-21); healed the sick in Gennesaret (14:34-36); ministered to the Gentiles in Tyre and Sidon (15:21-28); visited Caesarea Philippi, where Peter declared him to be the Messiah (16:13-20); and taught in Judea, across the Jordan (19:1). As he set out on his last visit to Jerusalem, he told his disciples what would happen to him there (20:17-19). He spent some time in Jericho (20:29), and then stayed in Bethany at night as he went back and forth to Jerusalem during his last week (21:17). In Jerusalem, he would be crucified, but he would rise again.
