According to Josephus, the Jewish historian who lived during the time of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the town of Bethsaida was converted into a Greco-Roman polis, or city by Philip, the son of Herod the Great. The new city was named Julias and its location has remained an archaeological mystery. In late 2017, archaeologists in El-Araj, on the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, began to uncover the remains of what might be that biblically important town. Bethsaida was the home of Jesus’ Apostles, Peter, Andrew and Philip!
