How many times did Jesus enter Jerusalem as stated in the Bible?

Answer 1

Two trips to Jerusalem are specifically mentioned in The Bible, but Bethlehem is only a few miles away from Jerusalem, and Nazareth is only 60 miles away; that's only a 2-day walk. It is highly likely that he would have been to Jerusalem far more often.

Specifically, as a Jew he would have been obligated to come to the Temple each year on Shavuot, 50 days after Passover, to present the "first fruits" of the harvest at the Temple of Solomon.

Answer 2

There are references to his being Jerusalem but his day to day travels were not logged and recorded to that degree. Just ask him when you meet him. His "real" name in his native tongue is Yeshua, just so he won't stare at you blankly when you call him Jesus the Nazarene or Jesus the Christ. He was never called that while living.

Answer 3

A:The Gospel of Matthew says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the home town of Mary and Joseph, and could have spent up to two years of his life there. When King Herod sought to have Jesus killed, they fled from Bethlehem to Egypt. After Herod's death, they did begin the return journey to Bethlehem but, again being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled to a city called Nazareth, in Galilee. After his birth, it is unlikely that Jesus ever returned to Bethlehem.

The Gospel of Luke also says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, after Mary and Joseph travelled from their home in Nazareth for a census. A few days after the birth of Jesus, they travelled to Jerusalem and then returned to their home in Nazareth. The young family travelled to Jerusalem each year for the Passover, but seem never to have gone further to the town on Bethlehem. After his birth, it is unlikely that Jesus ever returned to Bethlehem.

None of the gospels contains any suggestion that Jesus went to Bethlehem during his adult life.

Answer 4

The answer depends on which gospel account you are reading.

In Matthew, there is only ONE (1) mention of Jesus entering Jerusalem: chapter 21 (triumphal entry).

In Mark, there is only ONE (1) mention of Jesus entering Jerusalem: chapter 11 (triumphal entry).

In Luke, there are FOUR (4) mentions of Jesus entering Jerusalem: Luke 2:22 (presentation at temple, Jesus is approx. 41 days old); 2:41ff. (feast at Passover, Jesus is 12 years old); 4:9 (temptation by Satan); chapter 19 (triumphal entry).

In John, there are FOUR (4) mentions of Jesus entering Jerusalem: John 2:13 (Passover, cleanses temple); 5:1 (feast of the Jews, healing at the pool); 7:14-10:39f. (Feast of Booths-Feast of Dedication); 12:12ff. (triumphal entry).

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each mention Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. There are, therefore, SEVEN (7) unique mentions of Jesus going to/entering Jerusalem in the Bible.

Answer 5

Though the Scripture does not explicitly state, from the time He became of age (about 12 years old), the tradition was to go to Jerusalem once a year during the Passover. As He died as our Passover Lamb when He was 33 1/2 years of age, we can assume He went to Jerusalem 22 times or more.

Luke 2:42New King James Version (NKJV)

42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

The answer depends on which gospel account you are reading.

• In Matthew, there is only ONE (1) mention of Jesus entering Jerusalem: chapter 21 (triumphal entry).

Answer 6

A:Paul must have written his Epistle to the Galatians at least 18 years after his conversion, by which time he had travelled to Jerusalem twice. In Galatians 1:15-2:1, Paul said that after he felt called to preach Christianity, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. In Romans 15:25, Paul says that he will go again to Jerusalem, after which he intended to go to Rome and then on to Spain. This makes a total of at least three times by Paul's account.

Acts of the Apostles provides a very different itinerary for Paul, including that after his conversion he went immediately, by necessity, to Damascus and after Damascus went to Jerusalem. This account says that Paul went to Jerusalem five times.

Answer 7

Paragraph references from the Urantia Book:

Jesus' apostles visited Gadara once without Jesus (138:9.3)

Jesus and his apostles visited Gadara 4 times (144:7.1, 149:0.1, 159:0.2, 165:0.1)

Answer 8

Every single time when you go with your true heart and feelings to forgive

Answer 9

There is no evidence that Jesus did not behave as anything other than an observant Jew. As such, unless circumstances prevented it, Jesus would have made an effort to go to Jerusalem 3 times per year to participate in the 3 pilgrimage holy days, Passover, Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) and Succot (the Festival of Booths). If Jesus survived to age 30, this would suggest up to 90 visits to Jerusalem. However, the Gospels do not report on most of these. If the intended question was "how many times did the Gospels say Jesus went to Jerusalem," the Gospels are not entirely consistend. John suggests 4 visits, the others just one. My suspicion is that it is likely Jesus probably made many visits but that the gospels recorded only the ones that were of special interest.
