Summary: | The Gospel of John is not the only gospel to refer to a place called Bethany east of the Jordan river. The longer Gospel of Mark (better known as "Secret Mark") depicts Jesus raising a young man in "Bethany" while Jesus is travelling through Peraea. A study of the relevant topographical references in this expanded version of Mark supports the recent claim by Jordanian archaeologists to have rediscovered Bethany beyond the Jordan at Wadi Kharrar in Jordan. |
