'Town' in the Bible
In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country, to a town of Judah,
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David.
So when Joseph and Mary had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.
They got up, forced him out of the town, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.
So he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he began to teach the people.
Soon afterward Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him.
As he approached the town gate, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a large crowd from the town was with her.
Then when a woman of that town, who was a sinner, learned that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.
While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from one town after another, he spoke to them in a parable:
As Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man from the town met him who was possessed by demons. For a long time this man had worn no clothes and had not lived in a house, but among the tombs.
When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran off and spread the news in the town and countryside.
"Return to your home, and declare what God has done for you." So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.
Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."
When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him two by two into every town and place where he himself was about to go.
Whenever you enter a town and the people welcome you, eat what is set before you.
Heal the sick in that town and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come upon you!'
But whenever you enter a town and the people do not welcome you, go into its streets and say,
Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this: The kingdom of God has come.'
I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town!
(He had not consented to their plan and action.) He was from the Judean town of Arimathea, and was looking forward to the kingdom of God.
