Ancient city where Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus and met Zacchaeus
JudeaHistorically Verified
One of the oldest fortified cities ever found — the ruins go back to around 8000 BC. Multiple teams have been digging here since the 1860s.
One of the oldest cities in the world, near the Jordan River. In the Old Testament, its walls fell for Joshua. In the Gospels, Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus and called Zacchaeus down from a tree here.
Joshua
The Strangest Battle Plan Ever Given
Jericho is the first major city blocking Israel's entry into Canaan — its gates sealed, its people terrified, and its massive walls representing everything standing between Israel and the land God promised.
Joshua
The Defeat Nobody Saw Coming
Jericho is the site of Israel's stunning, trumpet-powered victory that set the stage for this chapter — the miraculous win that made the coming defeat at Ai so shocking and inexplicable.
2 Kings
The Day the Mantle Dropped
Jericho is the third stop on Elijah's farewell circuit, where local prophets again ask Elisha if he knows what's about to happen and receive the same brief, deflecting answer.
Joshua
The Woman in the Wall
Jericho stands as the first and most formidable obstacle to Israel's entry into Canaan — a heavily fortified city whose king is already aware the Israelites are coming.
Joshua
Before the Walls Come Down
Jericho is introduced as the first major obstacle in Israel's path — a fortified city sitting visibly within striking distance of their camp, making God's order to pause for covenant renewal all the more counterintuitive.
