Which modern-day countries did Jesus visit?

Question

I'd love a list, if anyone knows! Thanks!

and, yes, I know Israel, lol

and if anyone has any sources, esp. biblical quotations, I'd really appreciate it! :-)

Answer 1

None - he died some time before modern-day borders were drawn up. But leaving that aside, he lived and died in the kingdom of Judea, then a client-state of the Roman Empire. That would fall partly in modern day Palestine, and partly the usurper state of Israel.
Further to the answers of my fellow respondants, it is not as clearcut as they would have it so. Mark and John have no version of the Nazarene's early years at all,save that he was baptised by John as stated elsewhere (good point, owlwings - not as a Christian). Luke's nativity story has shepherds but no wise men, sees JC circumsized after 8 days like a good jew, and has no version of the flight into Egypt (modern day...well, Egypt).
Only in Matthew does the Angel of the Lord appear to tell them to flee to Egypt for 12 years while Herod calms down. Here too, we find the Wise Men and the Star, but no shepherds this time.
The decidedly un-Biblical tale of Joseph of Arimathea bringing Jesus to Britain (then the Roman province of Albion) and founding a retreat at Glastonbury would add England to the list, though the only evidence for Phonecian contact with Britain is a number of Carthaginian coins found there (Carthage itself having been a Phonecian colony). Tyre and Sidon (Phonecia's principal cities) were still autonomous at the time of Christ, though Phonecia itself was part of the Roman province of Syria. Quite why a Jewish merchant would take a ship to merrie England is beyond me, but the legend persists. Also, Cornwall's only real export was tin, a commodity which declined in significance as the Bronze Age gave way to the Iron Age. William Blake's 'Jerusalem' is the source of the "And did those feet.." speculation, and who wants to say where Blake got his ideas from.
Hope this ties some of the other answers together, anyway.

Oh, and as an addendum, i don't feel Jordan should be offered as an answer. The West Bank hasn't been part of Jordan since 1967, and at best will be part of a Palestinian state, but it's not modern-day Jordan, which Christ was unlikely to have ever ventured to. Jordan at the time was the client-state of Nabbatea, maintained largely as a buffer against the hostile desert tribes further East, and with its capital at Petra.

Also, Potteress, it was Herod's troops on Herod's orders they were fleeing from, not the Romans.

Answer 2

Egypt, because his parents fled there when Herod sought to kill all the firstborns and what is now Israel and Jordan.

Nothing is really known of his life between the age of about 8 and his early 30s. Legend has it, though, that he travelled with Joseph of Arimathea and came to Britain. The Phoenicians certainly traded with Cornwall for tin at that time, so it is, at least, feasible.

We know that his cousin John baptised him (NOT into the Christian faith, by the way, Potteress - Jesus was never a Christian in the sense meant today!) when he was about 30.

Answer 3

Palastine (now Israel) and Egypt when his parents were hiding him from the Roman soldiers. Jordan was a place in Palastine. The River Jordan was where John the Baptist Baptised people into the Christian faith.
