Did Jesus ever visit the area which is now considered Iraq?

Question

I know he did a fair amount of traveling, especially for the era. Just wondering.

Answer 1

He lived in Egypt as a boy, but never went that far east.

Answer 2

No he did not. Iraq was in an area you may have heard of called Babylon, also where the Garden of Eden was supposed to be. Check my source.

But to the people who say he only visited Israel are mistaken. He traveled to many places including Egypt to escape Herod's death sentence.

He also visited a few Arab countries around the Jordan River which seperates countries such as Jordan seria and lebanon.Iraq is not as contingent as these countries.

In fact not many holy people stepped foot in there. Most Notable person who did was Daniel.

Answer 3

No,
Jesus only preached in areas know as Israel and to mainly Jewish people but many Samaritans received healing and miracles at his hands and a few Gentiles, such as Roman soldiers and people that asked. But as a preacher he never traveled outside about 100 miles north and south and about 50 miles wide which is approximate area of Israel

Answer 4

Based on the maps in my Life application Bible, I would say no, he never visited what is not Iraq. His ministry was confined for the most part to what we now call Israel.

Answer 5

Iraq was known in the old testament as Uz. This is where Abraham came from and where God told him to stop worshiping the moon god and leave and go across the desert. They still worship the moon God in that land. It is on their flags of most of the middle eastern countries. But there is no record that Jesus went there.
