Read A Chapter A Day (RACAD) John 1:28

Psalm 12&14

Table of Contents

John 1:28 – These things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing”.

KJV has this Bethabara (House of Ford) as the place where Jesus was baptisted and identified by Jesus, other versions has the place as Bethany

I have read this chapter several times but never noticed this. Why is the bible sometimes explicit about some locations and vague about others?

Anyway it’s interesting to discover this Bethabara/ Bethany location and it’s history.

After a long search, the conclusion is that whether called Bethabara or Bethany – the fact is Jesus was baptized by John and identified by him.
