Bible Question: "Get up, let us go from here." Jesus spoke these words at the end of the last supper. The "I am the vine..." teachings of chapter 15 were apparently spoken between the place of the supper (John 13:2) and the garden (John 18:1) of Gethsemane (Mattew 26:36, Mark 14:32). I heard or read somewhere -- I have now forgotten where -- that one of the old gates out of Jerusalem was decorated with a bas relief of grapes and vines. It was speculated that Christ began the words of John 15 as they passed this ornamentation on the way out of the city. Jesus frequently used things around Him as a launching point for His teaching, so this is not beyond the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, I didn't make any notes on this speculation. Since then I've been unable to verify that any of the gates were decorated in this manner. Does anyone know of a description of any gates of Jerusalem having such ornamentation? |
Bible Answer: Hello Doctrinsograce, Here's a website that speaks of such a thing on the temple gate. http://www.bible-history.com/court-of-women/jewish_encyclopedia.html Steve |
