Places
Judea in Mark 1
joo-DEE-uh
This place shows up in Mark 1:5: “All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Mark 1:5
“All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.”
What kids can learn
When you hear judea in Mark, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Mark 1:5 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
