Bethsaida


"House of fish. (1.) A town in Galilee, on the west side of the" "sea of Tiberias, in the "land of Gennesaret." It was the native" "place of Peter, Andrew, and Philip, and was frequently resorted" to by Jesus (Mark 6:45; John 1:44; 12:21). It is supposed to "have been at the modern `Ain Tabighah, a bay to the north of" Gennesaret. "(2.) A city near which Christ fed 5,000 (Luke 9:10; comp. John "6:17; Matt. 14:15-21), and where the blind man had his sight" "restored (Mark 8:22), on the east side of the lake, two miles up" "the Jordan. It stood within the region of Gaulonitis, and was" "enlarged by Philip the tetrarch, who called it "Julias," after" "the emperor's daughter. Or, as some have supposed, there may" "have been but one Bethsaida built on both sides of the lake," near where the Jordan enters it. Now the ruins et-Tel.
