Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is a recurring theme in the Gospels, symbolizing His mission and the fulfillment of His destiny, including His crucifixion and resurrection. Jerusalem is the city where major events in Jesus' life and ministry culminate, aligning with Old Testament prophecies such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a> and <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>. The journey also reflects Jesus' obedience to the Father's will, as He resolutely heads towards the place of His ultimate sacrifice.<p><b>He was passing between Samaria and Galilee</b><br>This geographical detail highlights the route Jesus took, which is significant given the historical tensions between Jews and Samaritans. Samaria was a region that Jews typically avoided due to longstanding animosities, rooted in differences in worship practices and historical conflicts dating back to the Assyrian conquest and the subsequent intermarriage of Israelites with foreign settlers. Galilee, on the other hand, was a predominantly Jewish region where Jesus spent much of His ministry. By passing between these regions, Jesus demonstrates His ministry's inclusivity, reaching out to both Jews and Samaritans, as seen in His interactions with the Samaritan woman in <a href="/john/4.htm">John 4</a>. This journey underscores the breaking down of barriers and the extension of God's grace to all people, foreshadowing the Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a></b><br>The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is on His way to Jerusalem, signifying His journey towards His crucifixion and ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The holy city, significant in Jewish history and prophecy, where Jesus is heading.

The fact, peculiar to St. Luke, that it led Him through Samaria, apparently through that part of it which lay on the borders of Galilee, is obviously reported in connection with the miracle that follows, the other Gospels dwelling on the departure from Galilee, and the continuance of the journey to Jerusalem by the route on the east of the Jordan valley.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/17.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem</span>.
