Where was Jesus baptized by John the Baptist? Filmed at Qasr al-Yahud on the Jordan River, Ran Silberman discusses the historic and biblical debate over the exact location of Jesus’ baptism.

Pilgrims from around the world come to this site on the Israeli side of the river to be baptized, while another traditional site lies just across the water in Jordan. Using the Gospel of John, ancient traditions, and the geography of the Jordan River, Ran examines the biblical reference to “Bethany beyond the Jordan” and why scholars still debate which side of the river the event took place on.
