Archaeologists believe they have discovered a wall that helped to compose the Pool of Siloam, where Jesus performed a key miracle.

The wall, which is 39 feet tall and nearly three millennia old, was built in Jerusalem for water collection in the Pool of Siloam. Jesus healed a lame beggar there, as recorded in the Gospel of John.

Itamar Berko of the Israel Antiquities Authority said that the discovery offers a tangible link to the New Testament narrative, according to a statement in The U.K. Telegraph published on Aug. 29.
