In one of His parables, Jesus told the story of the Good [[Samaria|Samaritan]], who helped a man attacked by robbers while traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho.<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10%3A30-37&version=NIV Luke 10:30–37]</ref> Jerusalem sits on a mountain ridge, about 700 meters above sea level, while Jericho lies far below. Thus, the [[Parables by Jesus|parable]] refers to the journey as the “way down” from Jerusalem to Jericho. The road between the two cities passed through dry, rugged desert terrain, a region known for its danger and frequent attacks by bandits—making it a treacherous route for travelers.<ref>[https://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/10-30.htm Luke 10:30], ''Bible Hub'', The journey was one of about twenty-one miles, for the most part through a rocky and desert country, with caves that were then haunted by bands of robbers.</ref>
