Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem
When Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been beheaded, He left Capernaum, which had been the home base of His initial ministry in Galilee, and took His disciples further north to the mountainous area known as Caesarea Philippi. This was a major turning point in Jesus’s earthly ministry, for after a time of review, clarification, and confirmation of what His disciples had learned about Him, He “turned His face steadfastly toward Jerusalem. “
