The Town of Mary and Her Sister Martha-Bethany
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Bethany is now called El-Azariyeh, the L in Lazarus having been mistaken by the Arabs for the article. It is small stone village on the southeast slope of Olivet, less than two miles east of Jerusalem. It has about forty houses, tenanted by Mohammedans only.
The Ascension occurred at Bethany, as Luke tells us at the close of his gospel --- at Bethany, the home of the friend of Jesus. After convincing the disciples of His resurrection by many infallible proofs, and teaching them that the gospel must be preached to the whole world, and assuring them of the power of the Holy Ghost for world-wide testimony the Lord lifted up His hands and blessed them and passed into the heavens."
