The Antonia Fortress was overlooking the Temple Court, just north of it, not too far from Bethesda.

Golgotha is located just outside the Sheep Gate (today the Lion's Gate), which also is very close to Bethesda. From the eastern base of Golgotha (closest to the gate) to the Antionia Fortress it would have been between 80 and 120 meters, depending on the exact place where the Antonia Fortress was.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. Joh 5,2
