The Bethany pitch of faith makes connections. The Bethany story is one of the tenderest of all. Produced by Heiko Evermann, Nigel Blower and the Online. The traditional site is the ford East of Jericho. Grove suggested that the place intended is BETH-NIMRAH (which see), the modern Tell nimrin, a singularly suitable place, but hard to fit in with John 1:28 compare John 2:1. (2) "Bethany beyond the Jordan" ( John 1:28 the King James Version Bethabara Bethabara, a reading against the majority of the manuscripts, supported by Origen on geographical grounds): No such place is known. The traditional tomb of Lazarus is shown and there are some remains of medieval buildings, besides rock-cut tombs of much earlier date (PEF, III, 27, Sheet XVII). A fair number of fig, almond and olive trees surround the houses. It is a miserably untidy and tumble-down village facing East on the Southeast slope of the Mount of Olives, upon the carriage road to Jericho. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven."īethany is today el `Azareyeh ("the place of Lazarus"-the L being displaced to form the article). The Ascension as recorded in Luke 24:50-51 is thus described: "He led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. Here occurred the incident of the raising of Lazarus ( John 11) and the feast at the house of Simon ( Matthew 26:1-13 Mark 14:3-9 Luke 7:36-50 John 1:2:1-8). This village may justifiably be called the Judean home of Jesus, as He appears to have preferred to lodge there rather than in Jerusalem itself ( Matthew 21:17 Mark 11:11). (1) A village, 15 furlongs from Jerusalem ( John 11:18), on the road to Jericho, at the Mount of Olives ( Mark 11:1 Luke 19:29), where lived "Simon the leper" ( Mark 14:3) and Mary, Martha and Lazarus ( John 11:18 f). International Standard Bible Encyclopedia BETHANY Bethany has been commonly explained "house of dates," but it more probably signifies "house of misery." H. El-Azariyeh is a ruinous and wretched village, a wild mountain hamlet of some twenty families. It lies on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, fully a mile beyond the summit, and not very far from the point at which the road to Jericho begins its more sudden descent towards the Jordan valley. Bethany was the home of Mary and Martha and Lazarus, and is now known by a name derived from Lazarus- el-Azariyeh or Lazarieh. Mark 10:46 And close by the west(?) of another village called Bethphage, the two being several times mentioned together. 1 1/2 or 2 miles) from Jerusalem ( John 11:18) on or near the usual road From Jericho to the city, ( Luke 19:29) comp. It was situated "at" the Mount of Olives, ( Mark 11:1 Luke 19:29) about fifteen stadia (furlongs, i.e. That would be a loss.( house of dates, or house of misery), a village which, scanty as are the notices of it contained in Scripture, is more intimately associated in our minds than perhaps any other place with the most familiar acts and scenes of the last days of the life of Christ. I post this long comment because I fear some conscientious, knowledgeable brothers (like me) may reject this very good song because they think it is wrong according to truth. Luke put them in order of our experience. Luke does not include connecting words there. Matt includes the connecting words so you know that they are in chronological order. For example, Luke gives the Lord's 3 temptations in the wilderness in a different order than Matthew. Luke's seems to have occurred much earlier, but Luke does not have connecting words to indicate it happened in sequence with the preceeding or following events in Luke. Luke's seems to be in Galillee and the others in Bethany, but Luke does not say it is in Galillee.Ģ. The "insurmountable" differences between Lk and the others:ġ. The Lord says that this deed was so great that it will be spoken of for a memorial of her wherever the gospel is preached (Mt 26:13 Mk 12:9). It was in the house of someone named Simon (Lk 7:36, 39-40 Mat 26:6 Mk 14:3)ĥ. She wiped the Lord's feet with her hair (Lk 7:38 Jn 12:3).Ĥ. she anointed the Lord's feet (Lk 7:38 Jn 12:3)ģ. alabaster flask of ointment (Lk 7:37 Mt 26:7 Mk 14:3)Ģ. Here are the similarities between Luke 7 and the other 3:ġ. I think any reader of the Bible would get the feeling that all 4 accounts are the same event, but readers of commentaries will think Luke is a different event. (Catholics say that Luke 7 is the same event as in the other 3 gospels, but Mary the sister of Lazarus, who did this deed, is not the same person as Mary Magdalene (Jn 11:1-2,19 19:25 20:1).) I think this is correct even though all Protestant gospel harmonies that I have found seem to be sure that Luke 7 is a different event than the one in John 12, Matt 26 and Mk 14. This hymn puts together Luke 7:36-50 with the accounts in the other 3 gospels, especially John 12:1-8.
