An illustration of the Pool of Bethesda, located on the eastern side of Jerusalem. The water source of the pool comes from a nearby spring and this had five porches. Bethesda means house of mercy, so the pool is also known as Bethesda Pool Of Mercy. It was here at the Pool of Bethesda that Jesus healed the man who was lame for thirty-eight years.
