Places
Judea in Matthew 4
joo-DEE-uh
This place shows up in Matthew 4:25: “Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Matthew 4:25
“Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.”
