Bethabara
A village where messengers from the Pharisees questioned John the Baptist (John 1:28, King James Version).
Modern translations use “Bethany” instead of Bethabara to follow a better collection of manuscript evidence. John called it Bethany “beyond the Jordan” to distinguish it from the Bethany near Jerusalem.
See Bethany #2.
