Bible breakthrough as experts pinpoint birthplace of St Peter near Jesus miracle site

While he did not give the exact location, he noted that it was at “Bethsaida from which came Peter and Andrew. There is now a church where previously was their house.”

The recently discovered dedication, was written in Greek, the language of the Byzantine empire and the church at the time.
The mosaic referred to a man known as Constantine- not the Roman emperor- as a donor who helped fund the church.

Previously, the researchers uncovered a roman bathhouse at a layer underneath the church, fitting the records of the settlement of Bethsaida, which used to be the Roman town Julias, named after the wife of Emperor Augustus.

Between the bathhouse and church was a layer of silt from the time that the town was flooded by a rise in the level of the Sea of Galilee, which could explain its disappearance from the historical record.
