3. A Visit to Cæsarea Philippi. (Decapolis to Dalmanutha, Bethsaida, and Cæsarea Philippi.) Trace the route from Mark 8. 10, 22, 27.
During this journey occurred four events: 1.) Healing the Blind Man (Mark 8. 22-26). This was at Bethsaida. 2.) Peter's Confession (Matt. 16. 13-20). 3.) The Transfiguration (Mark 9. 2-8). 4.) Healing the Demoniac Boy (Mark 9. 14-29). These three events were at Cæsarea Philippi.
4. A Visit to Capernaum. (Cæsarea Philippi to Capernaum.) (Mark 9. 33). Notice that his coming was unattended by the crowds of former times (Mark 9. 33). This visit is noteworthy as his farewell to the city which had been his home.
On this visit took place the touching incident of the Child in the Midst (Mark 9. 36, 37).
Part Two
5. A Visit to Jerusalem. (Capernaum, through Samaria, to Jerusalem.) See Luke 9. 51, 52. His visit to the capital was for the purpose of attending the Feast of Tabernacles (John 7. 2, 10, 14) and he seems to have remained until the Feast of Dedication, two months later.
In connection with this visit note, 1.) The Rejection by Samaritans (Luke 9. 52-56). 2.) Mary and Martha (Luke 10. 38-42). 3.) The Pool of Siloam (John 9. 1-7). 4.) The Good Shepherd (John 10. 1-18).
6. A Visit to Bethabara. (Jerusalem to Bethabara.) From the Feast of Dedication Jesus went down to Bethabara, evidently with the purpose of beginning a ministry in Peræa (John 10. 39, 40).
With this journey we place Sending out the Seventy (Luke 10. 1). These messengers were sent out to prepare for the visit of Jesus to a new province.
7. A Visit to Bethany (John 11. 1, 7.) From Bethabara Jesus was suddenly called to Bethany, near Jerusalem (John 11. 18).
