Can we backtrack a little? I have a question about John 3:10. Is this the famous "whosoever" in the King James Bible??
Wayne:
Tell us more Front Range! :D The famous whosoever?
I googled "whosoever" and guess what ... the first site that comes up ...

OK here we are at John 5. Jesus is going to Jerusalem for a feast again. The minor point here is that whole communities of Galileans went to Jerusalem for feasts a lot.
The more intriguing point is that most of what the narrator of the gospel of "John" (whoever that person was) seems to know about Jesus concerns those times that Jesus was going to Jerusalem for feasts. So it seems that this person probably was not from Galilee but from Jerusalem or the nearby area.
So this make me think it was not the Apostle John, who was from Galilee.

Jesus heals a paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda. One cool thing is that the twon of Bethesda, Maryland is named for Bethesda, and is the location of the US National Institutes of Health. Health is what the old Bethesda was all about - even though the description of it sounds superstitious. "from time to time an angel would come and stir the waters, and whoever stepped in the pool first would be healed of whatever illness or infirmity they had."
Another cool thing is that the ruins of Bethesda can still be seen in Jerusalem. Here they are. The second one is being excavated. Looks like a long way down ... ???
