The Bible is true -all the time. Even the ancient writers could not deny Jesus Even if“a fire in the seventh century may have destroyed an elaborate church in the ancient city of Hippos, but it couldn't wipe away a mosaic depicting one of Jesus' miracles.”
Archaeologists found the mosaic underneath a layer of ashes in the ancient church that overlooked the Sea of Galilee and was built in the fifth or sixth century. The mosaic depicts five loaves of bread and two fish in one section, then baskets overflowing with loaves and fish others — a reference to the New Testament account of Jesus multiplying a few servings of food into a feast for 5,000 men (and children and women).
