美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊赞扬了以色列将60号公路命名为“圣经之路”的决定，称这条历史悠久的道路是犹太人与以色列地古老联系的有力象征。
US House Speaker Mike Johnson has praised Israel's decision to designate Highway 60 as the "Biblical Highway," describing the historic road as a powerful symbol of the Jewish people's ancient connection to the Land of Israel."
他在其办公室发出的一封信中说：“这种与我们信仰中圣经英雄的神圣联系，证明了犹太人在圣经之地的古老传承，回溯到那些帮助塑造犹太-基督教传统以及我们共同的信仰、自由和希望价值观的故事。”
This sacred link to the biblical heroes of our faith serves as a testament to the Jewish people's ancient heritage in the land of the Bible, hearkening back to the stories that helped shape the Judeo-Christian tradition and our shared values of faith, freedom, and hope," he said in a letter sent by his office.
他在信中写道：“正如美国的66号公路讲述了美国粗犷和开拓的精神，圣经之路也将提醒世界各地的信徒，以色列子孙真正奇迹般的旅程。”
In the letter, Johnson said, "Just as Route 66 in the US tells the story of America's rugged and pioneering spirit, so too will the Biblical Highway remind people of faith around the world of the truly miraculous journey of the children of Israel," he wrote.
这封信是在以色列政府批准给60号公路赋予“Derech HaTanach”（即圣经之路）这一官方名称数月后发出的，该举措是将这条道路开发为国际旅游、遗产和教育目的地的更广泛努力的一部分。该决定由总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和交通部长米里·雷格推动。
