Walking in Jesus’ Footsteps | Lost Faces of the Bible

this computer model of an ancient
Galilean skull is a critical step in
reconstructing its face in this case if
you have to remodel it you take the
correct part and copy it you actually
come as close as possible to the natural
shape of the skull since our Galilean
lived at a time when the Temple of
Jerusalem stood he would have made the
annual pilgrimage required of all Jews
and if he made the trip from his
hometown of Sassa he would have probably
passed through Bethsaida a town from
which at least three of Jesus’s
disciples came beside has sat on the
crossroads of the two largest highways
from east to west and north to south
[Music]
this is the one and only street from the
entire sites of Israel where you can
look at it and say Jesus walked on this
very Street because if you go to
Jerusalem it’s all medieval you go to
Capernaum it’s all Byzantine in later
the name Beth
Saida consists of two aramaic words Beth
meaning house and Sita meaning fishing
and it’s here that they have uncovered a
first-century fisherman’s house there
was everything that you would expect a
fisherman to have in his home fishing
implements hooks weights basalt stones
for anchors and the unique thing about
this village is that it plays a very
significant role in the ministry of
jesus right next door to the fisherman’s
house and Bethsaida archaeologists have
uncovered another much larger house and
evidence which suggests that may have
been used as one of the early house
churches of the Jesus Movement the site
of the first supper if you will not the
last
