We are at Qumran an archaeological site in the West Bank It is located on a dry plateau about a mile inland from the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. It is best known as the settlement nearest to the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden. This was a community of Essenes, religious separatists at the time of Jesus. Some scholars surmise that John the Baptist was a member of this community.
