Description
Summary:The best attested Salems in Palestine are the two east of Nablus. Both had springs (Aenon) in the immediate vicinity. John, therefore, baptized in Samaritan territory. This is confirmed by the relationship of Jn 3:22-24 to Jn 4, but not by the myth of the burial of the Baptist in Sebaste.\n4207 Les mieux attestés des Salem en Palestine sont les deux à l’est de Naplouse. Tous deux ont des sources (Aenon) dans la proximité immédiate. Jean-Baptiste baptisa dans le territoire samaritain. Cela est confirmé par le lien entre Jn 3,22-24 et Jn 3, et non par le mythe de la tombe du Baptiste à Sébastieh.\n4207 \n4207
