Betaania
Kirjeldus
Küla asub Õlimäe kagu nõlval (Mk 11:1 ), umbes 2 miili ida pool Jeruusalemmast, teel Jeerikosse. See sai oma nime seal kasvanud paljude palmipuude järgi. See oli Laatsaruse ja tema õdede elukoht. Seda mainitakse sageli seoses meie Issanda elu meeldejäävate sündmustega ([Mt 21:17 ; Mt 26:6 ; Mk 11:11 , Mk 11:12 ; Mk 14:3 ; Lk 24:50 ; Jh 11:1 ; Jh 12:1 ]). Praegu on see tuntud nimega el-Azariyeh, s.t. "Laatsaruse koht" või lihtsalt 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.
