Where did Jesus conduct His three years of earthly ministry?

Jesus conducted His three years of earthly ministry exclusively within the land of Israel, traveling up and down all the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan Valley. He never went outside Israel to Babylon, Syria, Greece, or Egypt, and He spent those three years ministering only to the nation of Israel.

Les explains that after placing the cross, he puts the three years of Christ's earthly ministry in that same period. He notes that Jesus went up and down the land of Israel, covering all the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan Valley for three years. Les often tests people by asking if they can find even one place in Scripture where Jesus ever went outside the land of Israel, and the answer is not a one. He never went to Babylon, Syria, Greece, or Egypt. His entire three years were spent only with the nation of Israel.
