Bethsaida (Modern Site near Sea of Galilee, Israel)

Home to several apostles and site of miracles, this town sat near Galilee’s shore. Its identity faded after 4th century abandonment, with archaeologists debating its exact location in the 20th century. Near the Sea of Galilee, Israel, possible sites include et-Tell and el-Araj. Ongoing digs continue to uncover evidence about this fishing village where Jesus healed the blind.
