As acknowledged the area of Caesarea Philippi swarmed with pagan temples and was legendary for idolatry; where the cult of Pan/Satan thrived in a territory that was overflowing with pagan factions and was like the ‘red-light’ district of the adjacent area. It was said that generally Jewish people stayed clear of this area due to its reputation. Therefore, it is quite fascinating why just one week or so before Jesus Christ final journey to Jerusalem to undergo His crucifixion, Jesus takes His disciples to this pagan locality that would have taken 2 days walking (32 + miles).
