BETHABARA . Mentioned once only, John 1:28 , as the scene of John’s baptism; the principal codices, followed by the RV [Note: Revised Version.] , here read Bethany . There is no clue to the position of Bethabara, except that it was probably in or near Galilee (cf. Matthew 3:13 ). Identification with a ford named ‘Abârah , about 12 miles south of the outlet of the Sea of Galilee, has with some plausibility been suggested.
