John, writing after AD 84, would hardly have used the phrase "Bethsaida of Galilee" of a place only recently attached to that province, writing, as he was, at a distance from the scene, and recalling the former familiar conditions. In view of the frequent repetition of names in Palestine the nearness of the two Bethsaidas raises no difficulty ...
Archaeological excavations have uncovered a synagogue from the 3rd century AD, suggesting a thriving Jewish community. [3] Bethsaida: Situated on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, Bethsaida was the hometown of apostles Peter, Andrew, and Philip. It was also the site where Jesus healed a blind man (Mark 8:22-26).
The resulting name means either "house of the fisherman" or "house of the hunter". [4] The Hebrew Beit-tzaida, adapted to Greek phonetics (the New Testament was written in Greek) and transliterated to Latin, yields Bethsaida. [3] The Arabic name of the valley is Buq'at al-Butayhah, also spelled Bik'at Beteiha, [1] [5] or el-Batikha. [6] [7]

According to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, the Galilean cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum, and the Decapolis did not repent in response to Jesus's teaching, so Jesus declared that the wicked cities of Tyre, Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah would have repented; it will be more bearable for the latter cities on the Judgement Day, and Capernaum, in particular, will sink down to Hades (Matthew ...
The Revised Standard Version and New Revised Standard Version use the name "Bethzatha", but other versions (the King James Version, Geneva Bible, Revised English Bible, New Jerusalem Bible and New American Bible) have "Bethesda". The place is called "Probatica, or in Hebrew Bethsaida", in the Douai-Rheims translation.
Alternative renderings to the name Βηθεσδά (Bethesda), [7] appearing in manuscripts of the Gospel of John, include Βηθζαθά [8] (Beth-zatha = בית חדתא [9]), a derivative of Bezetha, and Bethsaida (not to be confused with Bethsaida, a town in Galilee), although the latter is considered to be a metathetical corruption by ...
In the Hebrew Bible, there is some recognition of Gentile monotheistic worship as being directed toward the God of the Jews.This forms the category of yir’ei HaShem/yir’ei Shamayim (Hebrew: יראי השם, meaning "Fearers of the Name"/"Fearers of Heaven", [1] [4] [19] "the Name" being a Jewish euphemism for Yahweh, cf. Psalm 115:11).
