Use a biblical concordance to find an event in Jesus’ life that occurred in each of the places you located on the map. Cite chapter and verse, and describe what occurred in each place.

http://biblegateway.com/ is a biblical concordance, as is

http://bible.crosswalk.com/ (Use the Revised Standard Version.)

You will find that one of the places on your map cannot be found in the concordance. Identify the place, and suggest why this place may not be in the Gospels.

Illustrate your paper with photographs from two of the places. Identify each image and cite it when possible. Use Google Images and use the key words "Holy Land."
