It was part of the region known as Gaulanitis during the time of Jesus. The town is significant in the Gospels as the home of several of Jesus' disciples, including Philip, Andrew, and Peter. It was also a place where Jesus performed miracles, such as healing a blind man (Mark 8:22-26) and feeding the multitude (Luke 9:10-17). The town's name reflects its economic reliance on fishing, a common occupation in the region.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Aramaic origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"house of fish," Bethsaida, the name of two cities on the shore of the Sea of Galilee<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bethsaida (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 966: Βηδσαιδα</span><br><br> <p>[<span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Βηδσαιδα</span></span>, given by <span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading in <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-13.htm">Luke 10:13</a> where <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> etc. <span class="greek2">Βηθσαϊδά</span>, which see] <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 966: Βηθσαϊδά</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Βηθσαϊδά</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Βηθσαϊδά</span>; see Iota) and (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-21.htm">Matthew 11:21</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>) <span class="greek2">Βηθσαϊδάν</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, indeclinable but with accusative (which may, however, be only the alternate form just given; cf. <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 160) <span class="greek2">Βηθσαϊδάν</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 17 (16f); <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s 61 (60); <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 119f), (Syriac <span class="random">)dYc tYB</span> [<BITMAP:Syriac2>] i. e. house or place of hunting or fishing), <span class="accented">Bethsaida</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> a small city (<span class="greek2">πόλις</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/1-44.htm">John 1:44</a> (45)) or a village (<span class="greek2">κώμη</span> <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-22.htm">Mark 8:22, 23</a>) on the western shore of the Lake of Gennesaret: <a href="/interlinear/john/1-44.htm">John 1:44</a> (45); <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-21.htm">Matthew 11:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-45.htm">Mark 6:45</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-13.htm">Luke 10:13</a> (here <span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading <span class="greek2">Βηδσαιδα</span>; cf. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg. as above); <a href="/interlinear/john/12-21.htm">John 12:21</a> (where <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">Γαλιλαίας</span> is added). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> a village in lower Gaulanitis on the eastern shore of Lake Gennesaret, not far from the place where the Jordan empties into it.
