Or see as an animation how Paul's journey went on, or change the language from 
Hebrew to Greek with mouse click...

That was on my mind too. Svg would be good for that. It is a w3c standard for 
vector graphics, the graphics is freely zoomable without quality loss, svg is 
scriptable, it is already used for maps, it will in the future have support 
in web browsers. Unfortunately it is not well supported yet.

For ordinary graphics png would be my choice.
