The Garden Tomb, Jerusalem: Was Jesus Crucified and Buried Here? The full story of the holy site

good morning from jerusalem um this tour will take you to the golden calvary um the garden tomb which is the second option for the tomb of jesus you can see the light rail is now arriving and i don't want it to arrive because it will uh well uh we'll cover media while we think that i know it doesn't know right then can you see the dom there yeah right there this is the church of the holy sepulchre this is the most well-known place of the tomb and the resurrection of jesus the garden tomb is located 300 meters from there then you can understand then it's not a huge difference if you are talking about topographically but there are so many reasons why we do have the terms of jesus in the city and although i can make a shortcut from there um i want you to understand why they thought that it might be the second term and i'm not saying that it's not uh you will have to choose by yourself as um one of the guys at the garden tomb told me many years ago tell your uh tourist uh to choose to be in those two places of them to choose and to follow their heart and you know what follow your hearts let's start with that church of the holy sepulchre is from the 4th century protestants are only from the 15th 16th century and up and they had no place in the church of the holy sepulchre then for them to be there it was like to be in a place that is so strange for them another thing that they say according the book of john the tomb of jesus was and the crucifixion place was outside the walls and guess what they are right the jews have been buried i've talked the walls and i'm heading to the northern wall of jerusalem to show you that there is a wall and we are now outside the wall uh another reason i'm doing it is because um a lot of you the one who will visit the garden tomb by themselves a lot of you will be in dull city and then they will go out of the old city and reach the garden room then i'm heading to the northern gate of the city the damascus gate and there i will walk with you i will take the shortest way with you to the garden too by the way that was the border between israel oh rainy clouds it's supposed to rain a little bit this time that was israel that was the no man land united nation and that part was um jordan until 1967. wait i supposed to say palestine true in 1948 united nations declared of two countries israel palestine but the one occupied palestine weren't the israelis they're talking about here the jordanian then changed the name of palestine to the west bank and i'm sure that most of you knows that name and until 1967 a six-day war it was part of jordan not palestine in 1967 we occupy jordan and from that moment the palestinians wanted their country back by let's leave the politic but you saw the border between israel and jordan 1996 if you ask me any solution that both sides will agree i will be part of it i think that there are pieces more important than anything else because they are beautiful people and i'm beautiful no i'm sorry i'm ugly but in general i'm a wonderful person then you can see the walls of the city uh but the walls are frozen at night from the 16th century but it's based on ancient walls i want to show you where is the mask escape because of the covet 19 the garden term is open only between uh tuesday till saturday um i'm sure that when you will come it will be different then here it is the most beautiful gate in the city the basket skate later on i will make another tour and that's for mick that asked me to bless a blessed jerusalem cross there and there and i will do that and you will see another video of mine but that's going to be a short video about a guarded tomb and a short video about the church of the holy spirit and here it is damascus gate and show you that although it's the 16th century there's ancient part of it as well then here it is can you see the arch down there that's from adrian time second century you can hear the arabic music this is east jerusalem the smell of the food you can imagine how amazing it is and before we will go into that which is which leads you to the garden tomb i want you to see something else and then to understand why the 19th century so many protestants started to doubt the church of the holy sepulchre and to look for another optional place and as you know we're gonna be there the only problem is that at the 18 19th century that area looks a little bit different but we will do that to crucify someone is the is a very important issue i mean if the romans wanted to kill someone the best thing to do is to kill him a spear and that's it throw him to from the second story that's it easy doesn't cost a lot of money to crucified someone is to send a message you are against the roman regime jesus from nazareth king of the jews and in that case it's very important to do that at the center or the most public or crowded place in that area and damascus gate is quite a important place so many of the protesters were sitting here watching zarakaya cave and some of them said it might be the tomb of jesus there mainly because at the other side there's a place that looks like a skull here it's a little bit difficult to see because the structures of the east jerusalem the arab central station little bit hiding it but so many of them meditate and said it might be there it might be there uh the only one who dared to say that it's there and started to the rumor was uh goron but before gordon uh years before it so many oh look at the bagels here before years before it they uh actually talked about it let me take a picture of him and a video for you this is a jerusalem bagel special unique bagel that you can find on here in jerusalem then this is the golgotha golgotha according to the gordon and some of the protestants to the left you say fans and that is uh part of the garden tomb sadly uh they are renovating that part and the only way to see the golgi ties from here and i'll try to sneak in through the public bus station um let's stand there they always suspect me because i'm taking a video and they ask me what are you doing it's not legal but it is it's a public place uh but it will stop me you actually saw it then to see it from the garden tomb it's not impossible yet uh let's say in about a few months after they will finish renovating it you will be able to sit then this is part of it here you can see the two eyes right there of uh of uh the gotha and and one of the questions that i'm always been asked is how dare their muslims build a public bus station here the answer is very clear for me this is a central place that's where all the people are arriving or falling and going through and that is the idea of the romans they wanted you to see it if they will crucified someone in a secret place then they had nothing they did nothing i mean just kill a person and that's it but if you want um if you want to send the message and it must be in a public place as you can see a lot of people are walking here that's the way to jaffa that's the way to uh mounts of olives jordan and the dead sea and then to the galilee area and you got the message it's a very important place then it doesn't matter it can be it can be true oh you see here the two domes of the golgotha of the church of the holy sepulchre you can see it then it's really close to each other [Music] i made a detour just to show you the places around it but if you are going out of domestic gate or if you want to go in after visiting the garden room through damascus gate stop me because i'm clumsy don't let me organize it for just a minute and i would that was nice again no you remember this is the masking gate and if you will cross that street you will reach that beautiful market [Music] remember oh look at that oops this is professional it's all fresh and good and it's like few shekels then if you on a budget or just you want to enjoy good bread don't miss the jerusalem breakdown let's continue the smell here is so so mussy usually it's better and sadly the name of that british damascus road but it's written in arabic and hebrew then my english speaker sorry but it will go all the way straight all the way another lecture 200 meters you will see the sign of the uh tomb garden oh here you can see it nablus road i think it will be faster to go to the road a lot of christian institute here it's part of the christian quarter after the walls all right let's beware of the scooter oh again bagel bagel bagel fresh fresh fresh especially in the morning see the second part of the bus station central bus station and look to the right be at the right part of the road you can see the sign in three languages the garden tomb hebrew and it's in conrod chic street just go in see where the tractor is that's the entrance because of covet 19 it's better to check the timetable opening time and uh usually on sunday it's close then we will meet each other in the other part of the door i will leave the telephone number of them in the description and if i'm talking about that what about is that the first time that you're watching my videos my video then subscribe my channel and you will get some details about that place and how to um contact me the garden tomb see i'm already inside the garden gordon calvary jim garden is it not amazing then for me the question of is it true the true please if it's the original please if it's not it's not important the environment here the spiritual energy is so strong and if we compare the church of the holy supplicate to that then this is more authentic this is more beautiful now we know that the garden of joseph over amity according to the book of john is near the um near the tomb oh near the golgotha near the golgotha in the skull hill then in that case this is the garden and sadly as i told you i won't be able to reach the golgotha view point mainly because they are renovating it they're building something more modern and better and uh but i want you to to see every part of it the two groups here now of uh the first one is a israeli um tour guide that actually studies students and the other one is a real group outside from outside of israel right there it's the end mid of october and israel is trying to find a solution for the tourism problem i'm not working as a tour guide for more than almost two years and they are trying to to deal with it uh suddenly i don't eat too slowly then i believe that i look at the lemon i believe that at the end of december or the beginning of december people will be allowed to go in but usually until february there's not a lot of tourists here i cannot um the the fence that i so show you and the other curtain is the the skull hill right there then that's the reason i actually started with it first and now you know where it is now the skull hill was belong i mean we belong to the romans before that it used to be a quarry and remember that the place that they are so we saw zakaria um caves it was a quarry uh for the first and second temple and it shows you that if its quarries belongs to the government king herod the romans then it's not a public area but people used it as a burial site because it was outside the city it sounds like i'm the accent it sounds like from nigeria or something in africa i love that accent and i love those people that's so warm and when i head into the tomb oh they blocked me from doing it no they didn't hmm i love that fruit i don't want to disturb them then i will make a round tour i will make a rant let's be nice to them in that place down there uh my daughter she was very young at that time used to play while i was guiding here and she used to come to me and say isaac i'm talking with angels here i'm talking with angels here it's to the doom for me and about another thing that it's very important for me to tell you a lot of the protestant and i accept it in a way but you know where am i they believe that jesus wasn't crucified on top of the golgotha you know we got used to it it's in every art in every in every place uh if i will ask you where he was crucified you will tell me that it was on top of the golgotha but let's talk about it read the bible the bible never mentioned that he was crucified on top of the golgotha the bible mentioned that he was crucified at the area of the golgotha then in that case lots of questions you can hear that can hear them i love that i love that [Music] ah when i'm guiding those groups ah i'm i'm i'm smiling but i'm smiling all the time i love doing it and this is lots of small chapels here and what i want to do is to go to the tomb before they would reach the tomb because it's going to take time which is still beautiful to see beautiful to see unbelievable beautiful another reason to believe that it was here um we know that the jews used to skull um people that were against them there one of them was steven that he was was he actually enjoyed those stones and was after damascus gate here it is here it is and to show you that it was a very important place i could see here one press if there's a wine press it means that usually it belongs to someone very rich and we know joseph over amityah was a rich man there is a water system at the other side you know what it looks like they're gonna be there another five minutes and let's go to see it and then we will visit it soon let's keep it to the end usually that place is full with with groups of disciples so sad isn't it and there's a picture that i want you to see yes it's still here all right ready when i was standing early morning i was standing here and right here and you saw that is the bus station that cover most of it and we saw the two eyes but that's how it looks like at the 19th century we're standing at the side of the wall of zakaria cave and what you can see beautifully is the skull let's listen to them that's a water system but let's go and listen to them [Music] bye on the way to the water system i want you oh i want you to see a very special tree some of you asked me what is the meaning of shaquid which is my name my family name here it is now you know i'm in almond and sahih it's a shortcut of isaac i know all my secrets and this is the water system sadly the picture of it is gone um but it's a huge one and if it's a huge one it's he's such a big place it means that uh it's owned by public uh or government or whatever then in that case um it's not a private place that's what i mean now we can go into the tomb from there but we will do it from here and there's a woman in it then i don't want to talk inside let her pray let's start with that that is there's a lot of doubt here and cross here most of your protestant then i can deal with it uh and you can deal with it too we are not sure that it is a tomb that jesus was buried in it that's why it doesn't called um jesus tomb it's called golden tomb garden it's called golden calvary so many names it might be that um some believes that it is attuned from first uh temple time hundred years before jesus and some say all right maybe it was dead uh it started from there then then they use it later on but that is a problem for me because we know that jesus got to from joseph of ramity and we are in joseph of remedia too that no one used before i love it mark 16 6 do not afraid you come seeking for jesus of nazareth who was crucified but he is not here because before he is risen you know what you will read it in english and i will read it for you in hebrew ready and this is the gospel john gospel gospel 19 40 42 the only thing that i think you actually realize or it could read it 40 42. i'm not going in she's prank she's asking something then let's talk about how the juice used to be buried at the time of jesus first of all they were niches and they used to put the body in those dishes rocket tomb was only for uh rich people and joseph of remedy was a rich man then in that matter he um gave jesus unto him because every jew must be buried before sunset then he asked pontius pilate he had a good connection with him to get the body of jesus and he got it because jesus said no to him he is not from jerusalem he is from the galilee area he gave jesus onto no one he is before now i will talk about it you know one years before there were so many niches and they used to bury the dead there and um and let's say there are four niches what will happen to the fifth one i mean there's no place for him then they used to put to open the oldest niche and to put the bonds of their that man in an ozeri let me show you what the ozone looks like yeah it is in those kind of boxes they used to bury uh they used to put the bonds in and then they could bury someone else instead when i'm talking about instead um it's actually a problem for us because jesus got a tomb that no one used before in the term you will see three beds not niches which is more likely from the first temple time the door wasn't so high it was lower than what you see here the people have to bow when they enter into it the first room is where they purify the body of jesus and then one of those nations some say the left one is um the tomb of jesus himself um you can see here a canal according to what we believe the rolling stone was there we didn't find here the rolling stone but here there's a rolling stone from a different place not from here now if it's okay by you let's wait i can hear her praying and he's more important than me and i don't i do have lots of time i mean i'm not in a rush today well i'm trying not to be in a rush anyhow oh i have no tourist uh then did you already subscribe my channel if you want to let's start with it some of you some describe subscribers say um you're doing an amazing work and work and thank you for that i'm really trying to do that i love doing it and because you don't have two tourists we will um support you then they asked me to open the buy me a coffee site and through there you can donate if you want to do that it's really important for me at the beginning it was too difficult for me to to say it because my ego wasn't didn't let me do that i'm doing it because i love to do that but when i bought and he dressed to my daughter she hated the dress i wanted it anymore only with her but she loved the idea that i can afford to do that and let's wait for the lady to go out she's more than 25 minutes there but it's so important for me i'm actually crying when i hear her but it's so red to see the shape of s we believe in across here and now the sun is actually touching it and the computer for it is and i'm waiting for her to go in you do have time is it okay to wait thank you amazing it's it's so beautiful i was crying with you and he heard you where are you from india where are you from you know no nepal i love nepal i've been in nepal twice i'm from tel aviv yes [Music] you can i have speaking articles i love nepal we're from nepal [Music] [Music] oh my friends go there it's amazing and especially kathmandu cartwheel then i just want them to see the the tomb and i i will say it again and again again i was praying with you and what do you say he heard you sir for sure then i will get it quickly because i want to continue what's your name my name is isaac i think you can see the shivering and you sang beautifully let me show them the the tombs look at the ancient um cross that we found here remember it's like three beds one two and three one of them was of jesus do you think do you know where the tube of jesus was that one or that was that one or generally yeah we don't know for sure but it's such an amazing place and you've been blessed by her she blessed you not me she blessed you and again thank you very much and now you can see every inch of it now you can be part of it you are already part of the family you're and if it's okay but you i will enter soon for like two more minutes all right can i do that even if we are praying all right then done no problem for you okay okay thank you very much then you saw the tomb and you met an amazingly police woman that works here in israel she is not a tourist but she made me cry and you know in israel and all over the world we are suffering but the foreign workers in israel are suffering more than the rest because the first first one to be i mean kick out of their job were them and i do have a very good friend a protestant guy from india from the south of india his name is danny i mean his real name is not danny but uh we know as dany and we lived in a room together with another uh worker and that worker worked at the airport at night time and then he could sleep at night and there and then they used to switch because then they used the same room in the same bed and what can i tell you he suffered more than me then danny i'm praying for you thank you very much for being here
