Understanding the historical milieu within which a manuscript was written provides further insight into its reliability and meaning. Historians want to know the where of an ancient manuscript. The location the text was written as well as the locations that are referenced in the text provide crucial clues to meaning and historical trustworthiness. In the Gospel of John, myriad internal details demonstrate that it was written by someone intimately acquainted with the topography of ancient Palestine. John references a pool of Bethesda surrounded by five cover colonnades as well as a pool of Siloam used by those who were infirm. Archaeology has verified the descriptions and locations of both these pools. John also correctly notes changes in elevation between Cana in Galilee, Capernaum, and Jerusalem.
