(CBN News) The site believed to be where Jesus fed the 5,000 on the banks of the Sea of Galilee is flooded.
Bethsaida, known today by its Arabic name of el-Araj, is the ruins of what archaeologists think is the village where Jesus and his disciples may have lived. The name Bethsaida translates as “house of fishing/hunting.”
Unusually heavy rains in Israel have left much of the site submerged underwater.
