Bible Verses About Bethany

Yeshua was in Beit-Anyah, at the home of Shim`on, the man who had had tzara'at.

A woman who had an alabaster jar filled with very expensive perfume approached Yeshua while he was eating and began pouring it on his head.

When the talmidim saw it, they became very angry. "Why this waste?" they asked.

"This could have been sold for a lot of money and given to the poor."

But Yeshua, aware of what was going on, said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.

Those who were ahead and those behind shouted, "Please! Deliver us!"m "Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI!"

"Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David!" and, "You in the highest heaven! Please! Deliver us!"

Yeshua entered Yerushalayim, went into the Temple courts and took a good look at everything; but since it was now late, he went out with the Twelve to Beit-Anyah.

The next day, as they came back from Beit-Anyah, he felt hungry.

On their way Yeshua and his talmidim came to a village where a woman named Marta welcomed him into her home.

She had a sister called Miryam who also sat at the Lord’s feet and heard what he had to say.

But Marta was busy with all the work to be done; so, going up to him, she said, “Sir, don’t you care that my sister has been leaving me to do all the work by myself?”

However, the Lord answered her, “Marta, Marta, you are fretting and worrying about so many things!

Six days before Pesach, Yeshua came to Beit-Anyah, where El‘azar lived, the man Yeshua had raised from the dead;
