The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to search out all the land.
"And Jericho   ..." "At least three cities of this name have been identified in this location: (1) the Jericho of the N.T.; (2) the Jericho of the O.T.; and (3) the Jericho of Roman times."[13]  Two of these existed simultaneously in days of our Lord's ministry, the same being the explanation of why one of the synoptics described a certain miracle of Jesus as taking place "as he was leaving Jericho," and another said the same miracle took place "as he was entering Jericho."  Both Jericho's were mentioned by Taylor: "A town grew up near the ancient site (razed by Joshua)  ... There were two adjacent cities by that name, so the miracle was wrought at a place between the two."[14]
