Bethany (biblical village)

Bethany ( Aramaic: בית עניא, Beth anya, or בית היני / ביתייני , Arabic:العيزرية ) is recorded in the New Testament as the home of the siblings Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, as well as that of Simon the Leper. Jesus is reported to have lodged there after his entry into Jerusalem, and it could be from Bethany that he parted from his disciples at the Ascension.
