It was the native place of Peter, Andrew, andPhilip, and the frequent residence of Jesus. Thisgives some notion of the neighborhood in whichit lay; but the precise site is utterly unknown,and the very name has long eluded the search oftravelers. The last historical notice of it is byJerome, but he affords no more information thanmay be derived from the intimations in the NewTestament. It is true that Pococke (ii:p. 99)finds Bethsaida at Irbid ; Seetzen at Khan (Zachs Monath. Corresp. xviii: 348) ; Nau atMejdel {Voyage, p. 578; Quaresmius, torn. ), apparently between Khan Minyeh and Mej-del ; and others at Tabighah—all different pointson the western shore of the lake. But Dr. Robin-son expresses his deliberate persuasion that theseidentifications can have no better foundation thanthe impression of the moment. (Robinsons Re-searches, iii, 304; King, Temple Hill). Christ fed the 5,000 near to a city calledBethsaida (Luke ix:io)
