Map Tyre and Sidon map
Tyre and Sidon were important cities in ancient times. They were located on the eastern Mediterranean coast in what is now Lebanon. The area was known for its trading ports and was strategically located for both trade and defense.Â
Old Testament Tyre traders
In the Old Testament, Tyre was the major city of the Phoenicians, one of the most powerful trading nations of ancient times. The city grew wealthy from trade , especially the export of purple dye made from local sea snails.
The city also played an important role in the construction of Solomon's Temple, providing the cedar wood and skilled craftsmen for the project. The prophet Ezekiel prophesied against Tyre's arrogance and pride, warning that it would eventually fall to invading armies.
Jewish SidonÂ
Sidon was another important city of the Phoenician civilization. Like Tyre, it was known for its maritime trade and its skill in metalworking, glassmaking, and dye production. The city is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Asher.
Jesus once visited the area and healed a man from Sidon who was possessed by demons.
New Testament nonbelievers
New Testament writers present Tyre and Sidon as examples of great sin and unbelief. Jesus criticizes the cities for failing to repent despite witnessing his miracles. Jesus healed a woman's daughter in the region of Tyre. The apostle Paul also visited the area, where he was welcomed by the local Christian community.
Towns today
Today, the two cities remain important cultural and economic centers in modern-day Lebanon. They are popular tourist destinations, known for their rich history and architectural beauty. Tyre and Sidon remain a hub connecting the eastern Mediterranean to the wider world through trade and commerce.

"Jesus and his followers walked down to a level field where a large crowd of his followers had gathered. The crowd also included a lot of people from all over the region, from as far south as the territory of Judea and the city of Jerusalem, and as far north as the Mediterranean coastal cities of Tyre and Sidon."

Map of Judea, ruled by Pilate AD 28
Israel's territory of Judea in Roman times was part of the larger Roman province of Judea. Romans established it after the Roman Empire had conquered the region in 63 BC.
The Roman governor rule the province included Judea proper, Samaria, and Idumea. Pontius Pilate was one of the governors.Â
Governor Pilate
Pontius Pilate was the fifth prefect (governor) of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius during the trial of Jesus Christ. He is known for his role in the crucifixion of Jesus, as depicted in the New Testament. Historians debate Pilate's actions during this event. Some say he was reluctant to carry out the execution and others paint him as a ruthless authority seeking to suppress dissent. Regardless of his true intentions, Pilate's name has become synonymous with the power and cruelty of the Roman Empire in Judea.
The Roman presence in Judea triggered a series of big events in the Bible. It was during the Roman occupation that Jesus was born in Bethlehem and eventually crucified in Jerusalem. In Judeo-Christian tradition, the Roman Empire is represented as the oppressive power that ruled the region and allowed the persecution of Jews by their neighbors.
Judea: King David's home
Judea was home to a number of key biblical figures, including King David and King Solomon. It was also the site of important biblical events such as the birth, ministry, and execution of Jesus Christ.
Jewish revolts
The Roman occupation of Judea was marked by numerous uprisings, some of which had religious motivations. Zealots, a group of Jewish rebels, believed in the imminent arrival of the Messiah. They saw the Roman presence as a desecration of Jewish land. This led to a number of rebellions against the Roman authorities during the first century AD, such as the Great Jewish Revolt from 66-73 AD. These uprisings ultimately ended in AD 70 with Roman crushing the revolt and destroying the Second Temple, a traumatic event in Jewish history. The Temple has never been rebuilt.
