The author imagines how Jesus must have felt the first time he saw Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. “The fatigue of the four- or five-day walk from Nazareth would have fallen from him when he reached the summit of the Mount of Olives and looked down upon the city,” he writes. “Its power and beauty would have swept aside all emotions save wonder and immense pride.” We explore Herod?s Palace, the Temple, and other magnificent buildings.
