But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan went out to him,

Great crowds followed himfrom Galilee, and from the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
