Judea

Judea or Judæa is the ancient biblical, Roman, and modern name of the mountainous southern part of Palestine. A large part of Judea was included in Jordanian West Bank between 1948 and 1967. Judea is a mountainous region, part of which is considered a desert. It varies greatly in height, rising to an altitude of 1,020 m (3,346 ft) in the south at Mount Hebron, 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Jerusalem, and descending to as much as 400 m (1,312 ft) below sea level in the east of the region. Geographers divide Judea into several regions: the Hebron hills, the Jerusalem saddle, the Bethel hills and the Judean desert east of Jerusalem, which descends in a series of steps to the Dead Sea.

During the time of Jesus in first century Israel, there were publicans and tax collectors who could walk up to a man and tax him for what he was carrying, and much more. These tax collectors were hated and despised because they were usually fellow Jews who worked for Rome. There were many taxes needed from the provinces to administrate the Roman Empire. These taxes paid for a good system of roads, law and order, security, religious freedom, a certain amount of self government and other benefits.

35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.

The denarius was a silver Roman coin, originally worth 10 donkeys. The plural of Denarius is Denarii. However, as the Denarii became more common, it became worth much less. Around the time Jesus was alive, 1 silver Denarius was worth about $28 USD in bread today. However, we are not sure what time period Jesus was referring to when he told this parable, so the Denarii might be worth 10 donkey in his story, or it may be worth $28 in bread.

“17He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,”

Tyre is an ancient city off the coast of modern day Lebanon constructed on an island to defend from attackers. Tyre became a very rich trade city because of its location on the coast for boats to bring goods. Sidon is a coastal city in modern day Lebanon that became rich because of the large fishing industry in the city.

Tyre is proved to be a real city by the proof in the records of Macedonia and their siege of Tyre in 332 b.c. Sidon is proven real by the fact that Sidon still exists today in Lebanon.

“One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, together with the elders, came up to him. “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they said. “Who gave you this authority?” He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: Johnʼs baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?” They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why didnʼt you believe him?’ But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” So they answered, “We donʼt know where it was from.” Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.””
