As part of my teaching of the New Testament this year, I am going to have students move a tiny cutout of Jesus Christ around a big map in order to help them visualize where Jesus is at the time of his teachings. I tried to buy a map from Distribution, but it doesn't seem to exist. So I made my own. I made a few slight changes to make Map 11 look better for classroom use. I dimmed the background image so that the text shows up better. I also enlarged the text of some regions and cities to make it easier to see. I made the Jerusalem dot bigger. I recommend that you print the "Overlap" files if you are experiencing problems. Those files should leave a small overlap on each page for piecing together. My version prints on three 11x17 inch sheets of paper in landscape orientation, or you can print an alternate version on six 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of paper. The over laps should work correctly. If they don't, please comment below and I'll try to fix it. This was pretty difficult to do, so I hope it proves useful to other teachers as well. I also included the original map, which prints on a single 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper.

i tried to print off the map

i tried to print off the map of the Holy Land during NT times for seminary. I printed it on the 8 1//2 X 11 paper. Nearly all the borders of the insides of the pages were cut off I'm guessing about 1/4 inch or so. Any suggestions? Great to have!
There is a border that you

There is a border that you will have to trim to glue together, but those edges should line up perfectly at the edge. If your printer does not allow edge to edge printing, you may also have an additional bit of the map cut off. Let me see if I can increase the margins so that all printers will be able to handle the map.

Try the files with the name "overlap" to see if they work better.
