Places
Bethany in John 12
BETH-uh-nee
This place shows up in John 12:1: “Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
John 12:1
“Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bethany in John, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
