The final days of Jesus Christ are more than history—they are the foundation of the gospel. “Jesus had this mission which would eventually end up in Jerusalem and beyond,” Gibson says as the journey begins along the Jordan River. Rather than attempting to replace faith with archaeology, Gibson explains that physical evidence helps illuminate the biblical narrative. This archaeological evidence aligns closely with the Gospel of John, which describes Jesus being brought to a stone pavement near the governor’s headquarters before His sentencing. The journey concludes at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Gibson explains why archaeological excavations support the traditional location of both Golgotha and Jesus’ tomb.
