Betanië
Beskrywing
'n Dorp aan die suidoostelike helling van die Olyfberg ([Mark 11:1 ]), ongeveer 2 myl oos van Jerusalem, op die pad na Jerigo. Dit het sy naam gekry van die aantal palmbome wat daar gegroei het. Dit was die woning van Lasarus en sy susters. Dit word gereeld genoem in verband met gedenkwaardige voorvalle in die lewe van ons Here ([Matt 21:17 ]; [Matt 26:6 ]; [Mark 11:11 ; Mark 11:12 ]; [Mark 14:3 ]; [Luk 24:50 ]; [Joh 11:1 ]; [Joh 12:1 ]). Dit is nou bekend onder die naam el-Azariyeh, d.w.s. "plek van Lasarus," of bloot Lazariyeh.

(1.) The Revised Version in (John 1:28) has this word instead of Bethabara, on the authority of the oldest manuscripts. It appears to have been the name of a place on the east of Jordan.
(2.) A village on the south-eastern slope of the Mount of Olives (Mark 11:1 ), about 2 miles east of Jerusalem, on the road to Jericho. It derived its name from the number of palm-trees which grew there. It was the residence of Lazarus and his sisters. It is frequently mentioned in connection with memorable incidents in the life of our Lord (Matt 21:17 ; 26:6; Mark 11:11 ; 11:12; 14:3; Luke 24:50; John 11:1; 12:1). It is now known by the name of el-Azariyeh, i.e., "place of Lazarus," or simply Lazariyeh. Seen from a distance, the village has been described as "remarkably beautiful, the perfection of retirement and repose, of seclusion and lovely peace." Now a mean village, containing about twenty families.
