John 3:12, 6:17-59
Capernaum
Believed home of Peter
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
