Thayer's Greek Lexicon
Βηθανία, -as, ἡ, (72) 12 house of depression or misery [ef. B.D. Am. ed.]), Bethany; 1. a town or village beyond the Mount of Olives, fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem: Jn. xi. 1, 18; xii. 1; Mt. xxi. 17; xxvi.6; Lk. xix. 29 [here WH give the accus.-md (see their App. p. 160), ef. Tr mrg.]; xxiv. 50; Mk. xi. 1, 11 sq.; xiv. 3; nowa little Arab hamlet, of from 20 to 30 families, called el*Aziriyeh or el-’Azir (the Arabic name of Lazarus) ; cb. Robinson i. 431 sq.; [BB.DD. 5. v.]. 2. a town or village on the east bank of the Jordan, where John baptized: Jn. i. 28 L T Tr WH, [see the preceding word]. But Origen, although confessing that in his day nearly all the codd. read ἐν Βηθανίᾳ, declares that when he journeyed through those parts he did not find any place of that name, but that Bethabara was pointed out as the place where John had baptized; the statement is confirmed by Eusebius and Jerome also, who were well acquainted with the region. Hence it is most probable that Bethany disappeared after the Apostles’ time, and was restored under the name of Bethabara; οἵ. Liicke ad loc. p. 391 sqq. [Cf. Prof. J. A. Paine in Phila. S. 5. Times for Apr. 16, 1881, p. 243 sq.]
