Is this where Jesus performed The Miracle of the Swine? 1,600-year-old Hebrew slab points to the site of Kursi where Christ exorcised a man possessed by demons
- Marble slab with Hebrew inscription discovered east of Sea of Galilee
- 1,600-year-old stone may have been part of an ancient synagogue
- Researchers said it confirms the location of a Jewish settlement at Kursi
- Experts think it marks the Land of the Gederenes, where Jesus exorcised a man, casting demons among a swine herd, as told in the New Testament
In the Biblical book of Mark, the apostle describes how Jesus freed a man ‘possessed by the devil’ by casting his demons into pigs.
The event is known as the Miracle of the Swine, and now a 1,600-year-old slab found on the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee could pinpoint the exact location of this incident.
In particular, archaeologists believe the marble slab inscribed with Hebrew adds to mounting evidence that the event took place in Kursi, also referred to as the Land of Gederenes.
