Caves of Qumran, Israel

A Beduoin shepherd boy found the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls in a cave on the shores of the Dead Sea in 1947.  View the site where Essenes, a Jewish sect from the time of the Second Temple, lived in the desert, but due to their belief in celibacy, died out.

“During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.

 

He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.” Luke, 3:2-3
