Summary

Jesus’ Galilee-based ministry probably lasted for two years or more, and it follows that in the gospels we have only selected highlights, with the different gospel writers mentioning different events.1 His ministry was an itinerant one, particularly around Galilee, and his disciples also went out on mission trips, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, staying in places that offered them hospitality and reporting back to Jesus.2 We do not have detailed chronology.
