What is the body of water that is near Jerusalem where the scrolls of the bible were found?
The Dead Sea Scrolls that contained many of the books of the Hebrew Bible, along with many other ancient writings, were found in caves on the western side of the body of Water. The Dead Sea is an inland salt sea bounded by the nations of Israel and Jordan.
Did the Dead Sea Scrolls influence John the Baptist?
The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in caves overlooking the Dead Sea around 70 CE, at the end of the First Roman-Jewish War. They included many standard Jewish scriptures, as well as a number of scolls concerned with rules and practices of the community that hid them. Since John the Baptist was executed in 36 CE, long before the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, he was of course not influenced by these scrolls themselves. Whether he was influenced by the scrolls before they became "Dead Sea Scrolls", or by other copies of them, depends on whether John was a member of the community that hid them. This possibility continues to be debated.
What are the Dead Sea Scrolls exactly?
The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient Jewish manuscripts, most written in Hebrew, some in Aramaic and Greek, many over 2,000 years old, from before the time of Jesus. They include lengthy manuscripts, scrolls and thousands of fragments obtained between 1947 and 1956, from 11 caves near Qumran, near the Dead Sea. About a fourth of the scrolls are portions of the Hebrew Bible text, but they also include non-Biblical Jewish writings.

How did the Dead Sea Scrolls survive their underwater burial?
A large number of scrolls were found in the caves near Qumran, close to the Dead Sea, and they cover a whole range of spiritual and secular issues. Some of the scrolls were books from the Hebrew Bible. They do show modern scholars the wording of scriptures in pre-Christian times, but of course they were written centuries earlier, then copied and kept at Qumran for spiritual purposes. Some prescribe life in the community and penalties for disobedience. Others contain semi-historical information about the founders of the Qumran community. Many of the 'scrolls' are mere scraps, and scholars have difficulty agreeing on what they represent, let alone why they were written.
How were the Dead Sea Scrolls written?
They are believed to be written by a group called the Essenes. This isn't known for sure, but considering where they were found and approximating how old they are, scientists have come to this conclusion.
What books of the Bible are from the Dead Sea Scrolls?
None of the Bible is based on the Dead Sea Scrolls as originals. The Scrolls consisted of copies of many of the existing books of the Old Testament, plus a number of secular documents containing rules and administrative procedures of the community at the Dead Sea. The principal value of the Scrolls is that they enable scholars to see what the books of the Old Testament actually said up to the time in the first century when they were hidden, and what changes have occurred since that time.
