How many steps did Jesus take to Golgotha?

Answer 1

Actually Jesus or any other crucified person, did not carry the whole cross. The patibulus which is the horizontal part, is the part carried by the ones to be crucified. The Bible to my knowledge does not state the length of that distance. Jesus was the only one punished with whips recorded in the Roman history. Crucifixion alone was a sufficient punishment for anyone.

Answer 2

From the lithostratos (pavement), near to where the Church of Condemnation is located, to the sheep gate Jesus carried the cross himself. This is about 350 meters, maybe 450 to 500 steps under the weight of the cross. From the sheep gate to the top of Golgotha Simon of Cyrene carried his cross, following him. To near the top of Golgotha there is about 35 meters, or 70 small steps of ascending the steep slope, yet without the cross.

Answer 3

We do not really know where Calvary was, so we do not know where the crucifixion would have been. However, it would have been somewhere outside the city walls.

Answer 4

The hill called Calvary was probably less than a quarter mile from the city of Jerusalem, just outside the gates.

Answer 5

Although the bible does not give an exact distance, it does say it was outside the walls of the city. A guess would be several hundred yards.

Answer 6
