It is mentioned in the context of Jesus' ministry and parables, as well as in the Old Testament as a site of miraculous events. Cultural and Historical Background: Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, located near the Jordan River in the West Bank. In biblical times, it was known for its fortified walls and strategic location.
