Places
Bethany in Matthew 21
BETH-uh-nee
This place shows up in Matthew 21:17: “He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Matthew 21:17
“He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.”
