John 5:1-16 - The Impotent Man at the Pool in Bethesda

"After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?" (John 5:1-6 KJV)

While we are on the topic: They have excavated the Bethesda Pool.



The Bethesda Pool, was excavated in the late 19th century, but it has taken more than 100 years for archaeologists to accurately identify and interpret the site. It is located in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem. The name of the pool is said to be derived from the Hebrew language and/or Aramaic language. beth hesda (בית חסד/חסדא), meaning either house of mercy or house of grace.

When Jesus heals the paralytic in the Gospel of John, the Bethesda Pool is described as having five porticoes—a puzzling feature suggesting an unusual five-sided pool, which most scholars dismissed as an unhistorical literary creation. Yet when this site was excavated, it revealed a rectangular pool with two basins separated by a wall—thus a five-sided pool—and each side had a portico.

Though we know the Bible is true, it is always fun to see them dig up places mentioned in the Bible. It is even more fun when it demolishes "scholarly" objections and bias. All glory to God, all awesomeness is His. ^^
