ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

New Testament places associated with Jesus

Okay kiddo, do you remember the stories about Jesus from the Bible? Well, there are some places that are mentioned in those stories that are associated with him. Let me explain:

1. Bethlehem: This is the town where Jesus was born. His parents, Mary and Joseph, had to travel there for a census and there was no room for them in the inn, so Jesus was born in a stable.

2. Nazareth: This is the town where Jesus grew up. He learned the trade of his father and worked as a carpenter here. It's also where he began his ministry by preaching in the synagogue.

3. Capernaum: This was a town by the Sea of Galilee where Jesus performed many miracles like healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and calming the stormy sea.

4. Jerusalem: This city was very important to Jesus because it was where the Jewish temple was located. He went there to celebrate Jewish holidays and it was also where he was crucified and resurrected.

5. Bethany: This was a village near Jerusalem where Jesus often visited his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. One time, he even raised Lazarus from the dead here!

These are just a few of the places associated with Jesus in the New Testament, but they all played an important role in his life and ministry.
