Jesus begins His ministry near Bethany, talking to some men who would later become His 12 disciples. Jesus' ministry in Galilee began with a visit to a wedding in Cana. Then He went to Capernaum, which became His new home. He journeyed to Jerusalem for the special feasts and there met with Nicodemus, a religious leader. When He left Judea, He travel through Samaria and ministered to the Samaritans. Jesus did miracles in Galilee and in Judea and Jerusalem. He then fed 5,000 near Bethsaida-Julias beside the Sea of Galilee, walked on water to His frightened disciples, preached through Galilee, returned to Jerusalem, preached beyond the Jordan in Perea, raised Lazarus from the dead in Bethany, and finally entered Jerusalem for the last time to celebrate the Passover with his disciples and give them key teachings about what was to come and how they should act. His last hours before His crucifixion were spend in the city in the Garden of Gethsemane, and finally in various building in Jerusalem during His trial. He would be crucified, but He would rise again as he had promised.
