Jewish Ritual Bath Discovery Links Garden of Gethsemane to J

A building project in the Garden of Gethsemane led to the discovery of an ancient find. For the first time, archaeologists have uncovered evidence from Second Temple times linking the area to Jesus' day. 
For generations, the Garden of Gethsemane has been revered as the place where Jesus prayed (Matt. 26:36) on the night he was betrayed before his crucifixion as related in Matthew 26:36.
The church that stands (also called The Church of All Nations and The Basilica of the Agony) there now was built at the foot of the Mount of Olives between 1919 and 1924.  When the foundations were laid remains from the Byzantine and Crusader periods were found, but nothing from Second Temple times when Jesus would have been there.
