Bethsaida
BETHSA'IDA (beth-sa'i-da; Gk. from Aram. bet sayda, "house or place of
fishing").
A city in
Galilee, on the NE coast of the Sea of
Tiberias (Jn 1:44; 12:21).
It was the home of
Peter,
Andrew, and Philip, and frequently visited by
Jesus.
Our Lord rebuked its inhabitants for not receiving His teachings (Lk 10:13).
It is probably to be located at Aradj
about a mile E of where the
Jordan River enters the
Sea of Galilee.
