In John Chapter 5, Jesus encounters an invalid who had not walked in 38 years, leading to a false superstition that when an angel stirs the waters you can be healed. What is the Aramaic name for the pool, which many modern hospitals have adopted?
Answer Bethesda
Bethesda means "house of mercy" or "flowing waters," and excavation of the Pool of Bethesda can be seen today in Jerusalem. It was believed to be a spring that flowed in through the rocks. Jesus showed that superstition and old wives' tales don't heal you.
