The New Testament - A Brief Overview

Map of Bethabara Where Jesus was Baptized

The Baptism of Jesus

"All the leading events recorded of Jesus' life are given at the end of this volume in the Chronological Chart and in the Chronological Table of the life of Christ; so that here will be given only a general survey. Jesus began to enter upon his ministry when he was "about thirty years old;" that is, he was not very far from thirty, older or younger. He is regarded as nearly thirty-one by Andrews (in the tables of chronology referred to above) and by most others. Having been baptized by John early in the winter of 26-27, he spent the larger portion of his year in Judea and about the lower Jordan, till in December he went northward to Galilee through Samaria. The next year and a half, from December, A.D. 27, to October or November, A.D. 29, was spent in Galilee and northern Israel, chiefly in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee." - Smith

Bethabara

Bethabara (house of the ford), a place beyond Jordan, in which according to the Received Text of the New Testament, John was baptizing. Joh 1:28 If this reading be correct, Bethabara is identical with Beth-barah (fords of Abarah) the ancient ford of Jordan on the road to Gilead; or, which seems more likely, with Beth-nimrah, on the east of the river, nearly opposite Jericho. - Smith
