Mark 7:31 “Then he (Jesus) returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.”

Looking at a map, Jesus goes north to travel south. That’s…weird. In his commentary on Mark, critic Hugh Anderson says that Jesus’ course would be like “traveling from Cornwall to London by way of Manchester.” (The Gospel of Mark, Anderson)

Biblical critic Dennis Nineham agrees, writing in his commentary on Mark. From his reading of this verse, he concludes that “the evangelist was not directly acquainted with Palestine.” (The Gospel of St. Mark, Nineham) Oof. In this video Tim McGrew shows why blibical critics have embarrassed themselves by not looking closer at a map.
