CHAPTER XLIX.
A Description of some Parts of ancient Jerusalem.
This chapter will contain some descriptions of places given by Sister Emmerich on various occasions.

They will be followed by a description of the tomb and garden of Joseph of Arimathea, that so we may have no need to interrupt the account of the burial of our Lord.
The first gate which stood on the eastern side of Jerusalem, to the south of the south-east angle of the Temple, was the one leading to the suburb of Ophel.

The gate of the sheep was to the north of the north-east angle of the Temple.

Between these two gates there was a third, leading to some streets situated to the east of the Temple, and inhabited for the most part by stonemasons and other workmen.

The houses in these streets were supported by the foundations of the Temple; and almost all belonged to Nicodemus, who had caused them to be built, and who employed nearly all the workmen living there.
