Village near Jerusalem — home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus
JudeaHistorically Verified
Remains of a 1st-century village and the traditional Tomb of Lazarus were found during excavations in the 1950s. The modern town is called al-Eizariya (from 'Lazarus').
A small village about 2 miles east of Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives. Jesus often stayed here with His friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. This is where He raised Lazarus from the dead.

Mark

Matthew
The King Who Showed Up Wrong
Bethany is the village where Jesus retreats after the dramatic Temple confrontation — a place of shelter and rest, likely at the home of friends, before returning to Jerusalem the next morning.
Matthew
The Last Supper
The final days begin. While religious leaders plot in secret and a disciple negotiates a price, a woman pours out everything she has — and Jesus gathers his closest friends for a meal none of them will ever forget.
Mark
The Longest Night
Bethany is where this act of costly worship unfolds — a village just outside Jerusalem that serves as a place of intimacy and rest for Jesus even as the city nearby is plotting his death.
