Betania
Kuvaus
Kylä Öljymäen kaakkoisrinteellä [Mark 11:1 ], noin 2 mailia itään Jerusalemista, Jerikon tiellä. Se sai nimensä siellä kasvaneiden palmupuiden määrästä. Se oli Lasaruksen ja hänen sisartensa asuinpaikka. Se mainitaan usein yhteydessä Herramme elämän merkittäviin tapahtumiin [Matt 21:17 ; Matt 26:6 ; Mark 11:11 ; Mark 11:12 ; Mark 14:3 ; Luuk 24:50 ; Joh 11:1 ; Joh 12:1 ]. Nykyään se tunnetaan nimellä el-Azariyeh eli "Lasaruksen paikka" tai yksinkertaisesti 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.
