‘We Have The Evidence’: The Search For The Last Missing City Mentioned In The Gospels

Anyone who has spent significant time reading the New Testament has probably tried to imagine the small village of Bethsaida.

According to the Gospels, the town was the home of brothers Peter and Andrew, as well as their fellow apostle Phillip. It was there, along the banks of the Sea of Galilee, that the pair were fishing when Christ called them to leave their nets and follow Him. It’s also where Jesus cured a blind man. Just outside the town is where he performed the miracle of feeding the 5,000 with five loaves of bread and two fish.
