New Testament Places (Excluding Jerusalem)

When Jesus spoke to the woman at the well about "Living Water" she probably thought of water moving in a stream. Jesus described himself as the water of life. These falls are near Caesarea Philippi. They also are from the Banias river, one of the three which come from the meltdown off Mount Hermon and the three form the Jordan River that flows South to the Sea of Galilee and then out of the Galilee on down to the Dead Sea. Scripture: John 4

An example of the amazing engineering feats of the time, this is an aqueduct that transported water for many miles.

This is the site of a large cave opening in a large rock face. The gentiles considered this the opening to the place of the dead or the "gates of hell". It was in a large solid rock face. When Jesus called Peter a "stone" and that the "gates of hell" couldn't stand against his confession, then Jesus was making contrasts of a stone versus a large rock and how even the power of death couldn't stand against the confession that Jesus was the son of God. To the right is the shrine or temple of the mythological god "Pan". Scripture: Matt 16:18
