Places
Bethany in John 11
BETH-uh-nee
This place shows up in John 11:1: “Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
John 11:1
“Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethany in John, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
