Possible site of Jesus' trial found in Jerusalem
'For Christians who care about accuracy, this is very forceful'
(WASHINGTONPOST) — JERUSALEM — It
started 15 years ago with plans to expand the Tower of David Museum. But
the story took a strange turn when archeologists started peeling away
layers under the floor in an old abandoned building adjacent to the
museum in Jerusalem’s Old City.
They knew it had been used as a prison when the Ottoman Turks and then the British ruled these parts. But, as they carefully dug down, they eventually uncovered something extraordinary: the suspected remains of the palace where one of the more famous scenes of the New Testament may have taken place — the trial of Jesus.
Now, after years of excavation and a further delay caused by wars and a lack of funds, the archeologists’ precious find is being shown to the public through tours organized by the museum.
