Here's a list I made of places and scripture highlights

The study I did to prepare this list was more spiritually strengthening than visiting sites.  Although visiting the sites while having scriptures in mind was a bonus.  Studying the scriptures is key to inviting the Spirit.


Bethlehem where David born, and anointed by Samuel (1 Samuel 17:12). Also, Ruth gleaned the fields to the east.


Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.


2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)


3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.


4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)


5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.


6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.


7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.


 


Shepherds’ Fields


Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.


9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.


10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.


11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.


12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.


13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,


14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.


15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.


16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.


17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.


18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.


 


Nazareth, childhood home of Jesus. Mary's Well is traditional site where Mary visited by angel Gabriel.


Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene


 


Luke 2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.


40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.


Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.


 


Matthew 2:23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.


(Although not mentioned in Old Testament.)


1 Nephi 11:13 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great city of Jerusalem, and also other cities. And I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white.


 


Luke 4:16 ¶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.


17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,


18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,


19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.


21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.


22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?


23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.


24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.


25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;


26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.


27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.


28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,


29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.


30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,


 


John 1:43 ¶ The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.


44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.


45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.


46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.





Jordan River


Matthew 3:13 ¶ Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.


 


Joshua crossed the Jordan River near Jericho (near where some think Jesus was baptized), as did the Prophet Elijah and Elisha.


 


Capernaum


Mark 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.


17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.


18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.


19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.


20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.


21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.


22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.


23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,


24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.


25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.


26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.


27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.


28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.


29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.


30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anonthey tell him of her.


31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.


32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.


33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.


 


Matthew 17:24 ¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.


 


Shores of Galilee (near Tabgha, where loaves and fishes, and Jesus appear after resurrection telling Peter to feed his sheep)


 


Matthew 14:13¶ When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.


14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.


15 ¶ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.


16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.


17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.


18 He said, Bring them hither to me.


19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.


20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.


21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.


 


John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.


4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.


5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.


6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.


7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.


8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.


9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.


10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.


11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.


12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.


13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.


14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.


15 ¶ So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.


16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


 


Mount of Beatitudes


Matthew 5-7 (https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/5 )


 


Sea of Galilee


Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.


 


Mark 4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.


37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


 


Mark 6:53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.


 


Luke 5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.


 


Magdala (Migdal)


Matthew 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.


 


Luke 8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,


2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,


 


Mary Magdalene also in John 20:1-18 ( https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/john/20.1-18 )


 


Matthew 4:23 ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.


 


Jericho


Mark 10:46 ¶ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.


 


Luke 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.


 


Luke 18:35 ¶ And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.


 


Starting in Luke 19 is Zacchæus and the sycamore tree. ( https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/luke/19 )


 


Mount of Transfiguration, traditionally Mount Tabor to the east of Nazareth, but maybe more likely Mount Hermon north of Galilee on Lebanon/Syria border


Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.


 


Mount of Olives, ascension site


Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.


10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;


11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.


12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.


 


Jerusalem


Matthew 21:1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.


 


1 Nephi 4:4 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up until we came without the walls of Jerusalem.


5 And it was by night; and I caused that they should hide themselves without the walls. And after they had hid themselves, I, Nephi, crept into the city and went forth towards the house of Laban.


6 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.


7 Nevertheless I went forth, and as I came near unto the house of Laban I beheld a man, and he had fallen to the earth before me, for he was drunken with wine.


8 And when I came to him I found that it was Laban.


9 And I beheld his sword, and I drew it forth from the sheath thereof; and the hilt thereof was of pure gold, and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly fine, and I saw that the blade thereof was of the most precious steel.


10 And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban; but I said in my heart: Never at any time have I shed the blood of man. And I shrunk and would that I might not slay him.


11 And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property.


12 And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands;


13 Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.


14 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying that: Inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land of promise.


15 Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law.


16 And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of brass.


17 And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my hands for this cause—that I might obtain the records according to his commandments.


18 Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword.


19 And after I had smitten off his head with his own sword, I took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body; yea, even every whit; and I did gird on his armor about my loins.


20 And after I had done this, I went forth unto the treasury of Laban. And as I went forth towards the treasury of Laban, behold, I saw the servant of Laban who had the keys of the treasury. And I commanded him in the voice of Laban, that he should go with me into the treasury.


21 And he supposed me to be his master, Laban, for he beheld the garments and also the sword girded about my loins.


22 And he spake unto me concerning the elders of the Jews, he knowing that his master, Laban, had been out by night among them.


23 And I spake unto him as if it had been Laban.


24 And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings, which were upon the plates of brass, to my elder brethren, who were without the walls.


25 And I also bade him that he should follow me.


26 And he, supposing that I spake of the brethren of the church, and that I was truly that Laban whom I had slain, wherefore he did follow me.


27 And he spake unto me many times concerning the elders of the Jews, as I went forth unto my brethren, who were without the walls.


 


About the graves near Jerusalem (such as east of Old City):


Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,


53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.





Temple Mount and Temple Walls  (Mt. Moriah, Temple Site with Holy of Holies, and Abraham/Isaac sacrifice site)


Luke 2:40  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.


41  Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.


42  And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.


43  And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.


44  But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.


45  And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.


46  And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.


47  And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.


48  And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.


49  And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?


 


Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


 


Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;


 


Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.


2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.


3 ¶ And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.


4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.


5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.


6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.


7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?


8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.


9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.


10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.


11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.


12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.


13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.


14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.


15 ¶ And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,


16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:


17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;


18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.


 


Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,


18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:


19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.


 


2 Chronicles 2:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.


 


Pool of Siloam


John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.


2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.


4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.


5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.


6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


8 ¶ The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?


9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.


10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?


11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.


12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.


13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.


14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.


15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.


16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.


17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.


18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.


19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?


20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:


21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.


22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.


23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.


24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.


25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.


26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?


27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?


28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.


29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow,we know not from whence he is.


30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.


31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.


32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.


33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.


34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.


35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?


36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?


37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.


38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.


 


Pool of Bethesda


John 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.


3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.


4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.


5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.


6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?


7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.


8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.


9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.


10 ¶ The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.


11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.


12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?


13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.


14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.


15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.


16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.


17 ¶ But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.


18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.


19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


 


Upper Room


Mark 14:12 ¶ And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.


 


Matthew 26:26 ¶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.


 


Garden of Gethsemane


Matthew 26:36 ¶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


 


Luke 22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.


 


Golgotha/Calvary


Matthew 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 ¶ They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus the King of the Jews.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 ¶ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 ¶ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.





Tomb


Matthew 27:57 and on ( https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/27#p56 )


 


John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.


2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.


3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.


4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.


5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.


6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,


7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.


8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.


9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.


10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.


11 ¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,


12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.


13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.


14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.


15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.


16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.


17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
