Places
Bethany in Mark 11
BETH-uh-nee
This place shows up in Mark 11:1: “When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Mark 11:1
“When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,”
