Bethany

Bethany Luke 19:29 Excerpt Village on the eastern slope of the Mt of Olives about a mile and a half (2.4 kilometers) east of Jerusalem. Jesus and his disciples sometimes stayed in Bethany when in Judea, as when they attended temple observances during Passover ( Mt 21:17 ;  Mk 11:11 ). Jesus was eating at the home of Simon the leper in Bethany when a woman came and anointed his head with costly perfume ( Mt 26:6–13 ;  Mk 14:3–9 ). Bethany was also the home of Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus, where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead ( Jn 11:1 ,  18 ). The village was near Bethphage on an approach to Jerusalem ( Mk 11:1 ;  Lk 19:29 ) that Jesus followed in preparation for his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. In Bethany Jesus blessed his disciples after the resurrection and parted from them ( Lk 24:50 ). Today the town is called el-Azariyeh (the place of Lazarus).  More Elwell, Walter A., and Philip Wesley Comfort.  Tyndale Bible  Dic...

Bethany Then Now ‎The small village Bethany is located 3 km to the east of Jerusalem, and east of the Mount of Olives. The Arabian name El-Azariye preserves the name of Lazarus. According to an old tradition, the tomb of Lazarus and the houses of Mary and Martha as well as of Simon the Leper are supposed to be among the ruins of the Crusade period visible in the background. ‎Matt 21:17 ; 26:6 ; Mark 11:1 , 11:11–12; 14:3 ; Luke 19:29; 24:50 ; John 11:1 , 11:18 ; 12:1
