The Peraean Ministry, a period of about four months, covers the events succeeding the Feast of Dedication
to the anointing at Bethany, six days before the crucifixion and involves four journeys:

1. From Bethabara to Bethany
2. From Bethany to Ephraim, where he secluded himself from the rulers for several weeks (possibly instructing the twelve]
3. From Ephraim through Peraea to Jericho
4. From Jericho to Bethany
