Drawn by Grace Team University from standard reference coordinates (place locations are historical facts); simplified coastline and region shapes are our own drawing. No copyrighted atlas art, no map-service imagery. Statuses: located = the text names the place; traditional = the site is traditional, not proven; journey = on the road toward Jerusalem (Luke 9–19 names few stops, and is presented as the text presents it); carried = the text does not locate the chapter, so the last known place is carried as approximate.
