'Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient bathtub in a first-century mansion that could have belonged to one of the priests who was responsible for Jesus' death, while another expedition has found a town where Jesus is believed to have stayed following the feeding of the 5,000 miracle.'

What about the sink that Pontius Pilate washed his hands in?

[Beowulf9]

I wonder how they drained THAT baby.

Herod’s bathtub still here. Herod - not. He should’ve rethought that plan.

And here I thought Pontius Pilate was responsible.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.” Matthew 23:27

Whitewashed ~ Bathed

A LOT of suppositions here without any real direct evidence.

I don’t think there were priests when Jesus was crucified....or am I wrong!!

Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient bathtub (pictured) in a first-century mansion. The bathtub is the biggest clue as to who lived in the house as two similar tubs were unearthed in Herod's palaces at Jericho and Masada , while a third was located at a priestly residence also in Jerusalem

Uhn huh...

[ken in texas]

Agree, sounds like a salesman for global warming.

[kabumpo]

It wasn’t a sink, it was a bowl of water.

[Buckeye McFrog]

a case for Bath Fitters if ever I’ve seen one...

Caiaphas was the High Priest of Jerusalem. Known for delivering the line “Jesus is cool” in a great Baritone.

Priests of the Sanhedrin (sp?).

[kabumpo]

You are wrong. There were priests in the temple - they were Levites, descended from Aaron, the brother of Moses.

Pretty much how the media works these days

Who was the blind guy that cane belonged to?
