The Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem

In
John's
Gospel, chapter 5 verses 1 to 15, the author describes a pool
in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, called Bethesda, surrounded by
five covered colonnades. Until the 19th century, there
was no evidence outside of John's Gospel for the existence of this
pool. |
| Skeptical
scholars said that the gospel was written later, probably
by someone whoe did not have first-hand knowledge
of the city of Jerusalem, and that the pool had a metaphorical
or symbolic, rather than actual, significance.
Then in the nineteenth century, archaeologists discovered
the remains of a pool exactly matching the description in
John's Gospel. Yet again, archaeology confirms that the
Bible talks about real people and real places. |
