Where did Jesus spend His three years of earthly ministry?

Jesus spent His three years of earthly ministry within the land of Israel, moving up and down that territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan Valley. Scripture records no instance of Him going outside Israel during those years; He did not go to Babylon, Syria, Greece, or Egypt.

Les explains that the three years of Christ's earthly ministry are placed within God's dealings with Israel. He teaches that Jesus went up and down the land of Israel, covering all that territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan Valley for three years. Les often tests people by asking whether they can find one place in Scripture where Jesus ever went outside the land of Israel, and he says there is not a one. He never went to Babylon, Syria, Greece, or Egypt. He spent His whole three years only with the nation of Israel.
