John 5:1-4

Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals.

Nehemiah 3:1  Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundreds, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel.
Nehemiah 3:31-32  Next to him, Malkijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs as far as the house of the temple servants and the merchants, opposite the Inspection Gate, and as far as the room above the corner; and between the room above the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and merchants made repairs.
Nehemiah 12:38-39  The second choir proceeded in the opposite direction. I followed them on top of the wall, together with half the people--past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall, over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, so far as the Sheep Gate. At the Gate of the Guard they stopped.
