Jesus Archaeology #9 The Forgotten Last Winter of Jesus' Life Explored

Our earliest gospel of Mark implies that Jesus left the Galilee and headed for Jerusalem for Passover in the Spring a few weeks before his death. Based on additional textual sources and geographical references it appears he traveled to the Mt Herman area in the far north, then spent his last Winter in hiding outside the territory of either Herod Antipus or Philip the Tetrarch--in the Decapolis. This video includes a bonus at the end with original footage made in the 1990s when Dr. Tabor traveled to Jordan to investigate this area--he has been back now five different times doing archaeological surveys of the caves and environment. It connects to Pella, and the tradition that the Jewish Nazarenes fled to the same area in 66 CE when the Roman revolt broke out.

For 2024 I have created a Weekly Q & A Dialogue Space paid members can use for personal exchange where I will respond to messages directly and members can have exchanges among themselves. We also meet monthly in a live Zoom session, which is recorded and uploaded to the site. My Patreon account is not intended for major fund raising, but as a way of identifying a group of really engaged folk, self-selected by paid membership, with whom I can deal more directly. If you take a look at the various membership tiers at my site, you will see that all levels of membership receive the same benefits. Contributions go into a research fund—so you are advancing scholarship. call it my “Tabor Research Community,” you can check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/jamesdtabor On-line Courses: "Jesus & Dead Sea Scrolls” https://mvp-courses.com/tabor-dss Creating Jesus: Gospel of Mark https://mythvisionpodcast.com/firstgospel __________________________________________ The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley מהמלים בקשר את המלים ועל סמך המלים Retired Prof. of Religious Studies/Christian Origins The University of North Carolina at Charlotte About Dr. James D.
