Baptism John 2:13 - 3:36

Wilderness - not devoid of water but desolate place
-
Jordan River
-
Some argue not enough water there to baptize someone
-
It is a small stream in places
-
Many places exist that are deep enough to immerse
-
-
Some believe John’s baptism was a metaphor, please walked in and got their feet wet
-
One of the reasons Jordan River is so small now is farmers using Jordan River for irrigation, and earthen dam
-
Things were different 2k years ago
-
-
-
Temple Mount
-
Where was Jesus with Nichodemas?
-
There were pools or baptistries around Temple Mount

John 4
Woman at well
Ancient well at base of Mt Ebal and Mt Gerizim, possibly the one
Woman said, On this mountain or in Jerusalem?
John 5
Pool of Bethesda
Verses 1-4 has 5 porches
Pool of Silomn (means sent)
Possible because water was sent to this pool
"Pilgrim's way"
1/2 mile on crowded thoroughfare filled with crowded commerce
Why did Jesus do it that way? We don't know
