Bethani
Përshkrim
Një fshat në shpatin juglindor të Malit të Ullinjve (Mk 11:1 ), rreth 2 milje në lindje të Jeruzalemit, në rrugën për në Jeriko. Ai e mori emrin nga numri i palmave që rriteshin aty. Ishte vendbanimi i Llazarit dhe motrave të tij. Përmendet shpesh në lidhje me ngjarje të paharrueshme në jetën e Zotit tonë (Mt 21:17 ; Mt 26:6 ; Mk 11:11 , Mk 11:12 ; Mk 14:3 ; Lk 24:50 ; Gj 11:1 ; Gj 12:1 ). Tani njihet me emrin el-Azariyeh, dmth., "vendi i Llazarit," ose thjesht 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.
