"There was no such thing as “Palestine” in the time of Christ."

Origin of name

"As a geographic term, Palestine can refer to "ancient Palestine," an area that today includes Israel and the Israeli-occupied[2] Palestinian territories, as well as part of Jordan, and some of both Lebanon and Syria.[1]" -Same source as link.

I'll assume and take "ancient Palestine" to be within the same time frame of Christ's birth.
